i am defective i am a broken toy i'm a sad, sorry, sappy misplaced little boy twenty years i've grown twenty more i'll die i'll spend my time forgetting things i will lose my mind i'm a robot i'm a hate machine i've been taught to distrust and to dislike damn near every thing i'm a holy ghost i'm a miracle i'm the reason you smile when you awake and before you die i'm a hopeless fool a self-destructive lie it seems kind of funny now to know that i tried (to be the nice guy) i'm a fruitless tree i'm a harmless flea i'm the itch you can't scratch i'm everything you'll never be i'm every poem and fable i'm every story and tale i'm everything your parents told you you'd be i'm every time you fail i am forever but my time ends now because you heard all of this already but never quite how i am a child i am the dead i'm every terrible thought that's swirling around your troubled head i am me i am a dying breed i am the piece inside of you you'll forget eventually i am the dull silence i'm the endless noise i'm the thoughts and dreams, the hopes and schemes of every girl and boy i am an endless battle that will never be won because we can't kill ourselves we'll just be reborn i am love i will never end you can try to dismiss me but i'll never bend i am you i am me i am he, i am she i am everything
