You don’t understand

I’m telling you, you don’t

Just believe me this once

And let it go

Don’t ask questions about it

‘Cause I don’t feel like answering

I don’t feel like talking

And I sure don’t feel like you

You just don’t get it at all, do you?

You don’t feel, you don’t think

You don’t really know what I mean

When I try to explain

But when is that?

I can barely get a word in with you

And how you run your mouth

I wish I could

I wish so hard

So badly

But my wishes, they just don’t come true

Nothing’s working

The world is a big machine that’s broken

And nobody wants to fix it

It makes me sick

And I just want to let go

Get as far away from you as I can

Just be by myself

All alone

And scream

Maybe cry a little

Laugh a little

Kick and shout until I can’t anymore

And then just fade away

You wouldn’t need me after that

Why should I stay there?

So you’ll still have me to push around

To bring down

To hurt and hit and spit on

And everything else you do

That I can’t stand

I hate you

I hate everything about you

But then that means I hate me, too

It makes sense, I guess

I’ve never been the best at anything

I know that

But you

There’s no reason for you to have to rub it in

You aren’t so much yourself

Even though you act like you’re

A modern-day Jesus

Like you’re supposed to be some sort of savior

And that we’re all supposed to follow you

Like we’re just a bunch of horrible nothings

And need to worship you to redeem ourselves

It isn’t right

And you know it

So why do you act that way?

Can you tell me why?

You can’t, can you

Because you don’t know

You just don’t know

And you never have

Have you ever known anything?

Did you ever pay attention to anyone else?

Think about it

And when you’re burning

Remember me

And maybe, just maybe

You’ll be able to apologize

For everything you’ve done
