Busy


I'm busy

Trying to build a character

Someone to relate to

Someone to look up to

When your life time changes you 

When no one appreciates you 

Trying to do everything you can 

But you never get a thank you

And god damn it's painful 

And god damn it's shamful 

My life is a mistake 

I got a few friends 

Most are really fake 

Regardless of my past

I want to know what it'll take

To be able to sleep 

Not have to stay awake

Wishing and hoping 

I could get all my emotions 

And send them down the lake 

Having society only kill pain with more abuse 

Abuse? yeah 

Having to act cool hanging out with some dudes 

Making you think 

Fun is only when you use 

You know, drinking some booze 

Or smoking a joint 

Lighting it up like a fuze 

Society is the new Hitler 

Trying to massacre us just like the Jews 

But now the new victims are all the teens 

With a messed up life 

That have nothing to lose.
