There was poison in the air on such a bitter afternoon
Just wandering around with nothing better else to do
Searching for an argument to get me through the day
Anything to keep the pollution at bay
Prying eyes watch every move I make and judge the stones I throw
Laughing when I go too far and break my brittle bones
Every move I make is filtered through stained shards of glass
Hoping that the worst will never come to pass
But sometimes
I hate being this way
I hate the games you play
And the stupid prizes I beg for
One day
I'll get over my shame
I'll quit playing your games
And then stomp you out to settle the score
I know the rules
Know the cruel lies you spoon-fed me
Now I'm playing too
And I'm bending the rules
Better run from me.
Now I'm in too deep to care if I become evil like you
No time to play nice when I've got my own self worth to prove
But those prying eyes don't care and their judgement is passed
They've abandoned me and they aren't coming back
I'll just go where evil people go
It's all I've ever known and I don't have any other home
I know I'm reaping what I sow
I dug my grave I know so I'll lay in it and leave you alone
... Sorry.
