Why try
When all you get is dead inside
Wasted time
Photographs and sorry sighs
I hate this guy
At least we tried, at least we tried
No sky
Bozo got bored that’s for sure
Porn and drink
Assorted other broken things
Pour it in
Say you don’t regret a thing
At least we tried
I hate this guy, I hate this guy
Plain lies
Painted on eyes, no disguise
Me again
Still hopeful that we can be friends
Make amends
Best intentions, selfish ends
Love yourself
All the rest can go to hell
Tell yourself
You’re not a heartless waste of cells
Damn your eyes!
I hate this guy, I hate this guy
Next time
Cast not your pearls before swine
