Harsh words and violent blows,
Hidden secrets that nobody knows.
Eyes are open but hands are fisted,
Deep inside I'm tainted & twisted.
So many tricks and so many lies
Too many when’s & too many whys
Nobody's special and nobody's gifted
I'm just me, tainted & twisted
Sleeping awake and choking on dreams,
Listening loudly to muted screams.
Call my mind, but the number's unlisted,
It’s lost in someone so tainted & twisted.
On my knees, alive but dead,
Look at the invisible blood I've bled.
I'm not gone, my mind has drifted,
Do not expect much, I'm tainted & twisted.
Burnt out, wasted, empty, & hollow,
Today is merely yesterday's tomorrow.
The sun died out, the ashes sifted,
I'm still here, tainted & twisted.
