Cracked

My fist flies right through your face.
I wish I could, I can't displace.
These feelings that I'm out of place
In this life.
I look down at my tiny feet.
I cannot run, I can't retreat.
I'm stupid, I'm a worthless piece.
Of life.

It looks like I've cracked again.
It looks like I'm backed again.
I try and try, I can't succeed.
I cry, I scream, I cut, I bleed.
It looks like I've cracked again.

It's a disgrace, a twisted wreck.
We'll take the dead and we'll dissect
The heart the soul, the self respect
Is missing.
What do I have left to give?
What justifies this life I live?
I'd trade two me's for one of his
And spare change.

It looks like I've cracked again.
It looks like I'm backed again.
I try to climb and just fall flat.
I'm drinking rage and getting fat.
It looks like I've cracked again.

I like sunshine, I like daisies.
I like summertime and being lazy.
I like music, I like TV.
I like smiles and romantic movies.
I want to break out, I want to run free.
I want to see what this world can show me.
I want to drive and never hit "empty".
I want to live life and always be happy.

I keep myself locked up inside.
I blame my fear, my wounded pride.
She hit me once and then I cried.
It stung me.
I pick and pace and climb the walls.
If I get too high I fear I'll fall.
I guess I just don't walk that tall
So fake it.

It looks like I've cracked again.
It looks like I'm backed again.
I try and try, I can't succeed.
I cry, I scream, I cut, I bleed.
It looks like I've cracked again.
It looks like I'm backed again.
It looks like I've cracked again.
