My life is a waste
I was put on this earth to fail
I was put on this earth to fail
No one understands how I feel
And it seems they never will
Everything that is good in my life
I run into the ground
Self destruction
Seems the only course to take
Lower than dirt
I feel I have been thrown away
Trying to climb the mountain
But only fall and shatter my soul
I have been dealt a bad hand
That I can't seem to fold
Chained to the ground
I cannot pick myself up
My mind is a prison
That has no key
I am a ticking time bomb
Stay away or ill take you down with me
I am alone
Now and forever
