it's their job to keep you happy
it's my job to keep you safe
odds are you won't be hurt badly
there are precautions you can take
but you're so fucking afraid of pestilence
you're so fucking afraid of everything
you paid for everything and chose to look away
i can tell that you're not listening
and that really is a shame
there's no more use for cautious whispering
if i can't ever hit a vein
'cause you're so fucking afraid and petulant
you're so fucking afraid of everything
a change in anything would push you in the grave
if i can't tell you
then i can't help you well along
like i so wish i could
trust in what we do
we care about you
can't you care, then, too?

there's something not quite right
that much i have surmised
i stare across for miles
but you can't meet my eyes
i needed this so bad
but now i'm being excised
and i feel undone
so get on with it
say what you wanna say
i know you'll push me right out of your way
and do what you gotta do
go on, ambush me
you've got no regard for what we go through
misfortunes thus accrue
compounding toward a fate
that i can't outrun
so put me under and
say what you wanna say
you protocol me, you can't disobey
yeah do what you gotta do
you extricate me as it suits your convenient display
i thought i was doing okay, i did that which was asked of me but now i sit and hear denials
guarantees of destitution
patronized, not pitied
it's not lost on me that this whole thing is predicated on that you're just not allowed to care
say what you wanna say
you really pushed me right out of your way
you did what you had to do
you went and shook me
down with no regard for what i'll go through

here i am, in the flesh
doing absolutely none of what i know i do best, 'cause i
i slipped through the cracks;
the impact retracts all opportunities to ever come back
in a world that draws dividends from doubt, eminence from clout, lined with grifts throughout
complete with razor-thin margins keeping shit from going south
are you really that surprised when the razors come out?
fuck it
i tried to bide my time
i now am too hardened to pine
i've seen how it goes about
and it's your right to sit it out
if you want to
what is a glass half-full to a broken glass spilt
when the weight of the world comes down, it's full-tilt
'cause all i know is guilt-flavored hope and hope-flavored guilt
that's how i was built
i'm left to wonder what i could have done better,
but the better would've never surrendered me unfettered
the only thing my education let me measure
is the viable sharpness of the edges of acceptance letters
i sympathize
i hate to see one left behind
if it's hostile to your health
you needn't suffer by yourself
if you don't want to
let me help you

arriving with fervor
i come to you because i must go further
i murmur
forget me, know me only by my burner
i'm sterner
tell temperance i did not mean to unnerve her
observe her
she knows as well as i do that you'd blown it
you stowed it
you fucked it up i know it
yes i know it
emboldened
i'll ask this favor so that i can do good
like you would
if not for pesky oaths, they're so old-fashioned
compassion
is lacking; that's what i'm attacking
helping well along
i bought it
you sold it
objective in this moment is to hold it
control it
without suspicion; i can get around it
they doubt it
deniability, i'm all about it
stay clouded
behind my fostered shroud is what i do now
it's true how
i guess i've really gotta follow through now
renew now
a purpose on this plane of cruelty strewn out
eternal
i'll wield this punctuation thought infernal
subdermal
i'll be remembered merciful
helping well along

dire now is the circumstance
that saw you ask for me
my reputation thus precedes
worry not, i'm qualified
as much as one can be
do you believe in destiny?
that's a question, the wrong question
i'm so sorry, what was i thinking?
please excuse my indiscretion
my concession, forgive me
if you're sure, then let's move on
you've got it in your mind
to make these earthly pains unbind
so here's your chance to catch the void
not often comes it by
don't worry, i'll be by your side
no more waiting, more placating
pulse is fading, mine is racing
close your eyes, now, gentle patient,
liberation's to find you

absolved yourself, you did, all of a sudden
how could you leave me staring at the button alone
i'm so scared
you burdened that upon a grieving child
i grew to understand and now revile alone
i'm so scared

i need some help
i think that this might do
but it might not
what have i got into
might not get the chance
chance to back down anymore
as a last resort
place my trust here faintly
it's very sharp
as sharp as i am scared
i used to think
i never would have dared
but i feel outright
backed into the corner now
as my grip holds tight
i fear you might make me
