Pity

If I could only fill the void Open my eyes up and forget If I could only have a choice Eaten by pity and regret If I had a way to numb Cut myself off from the rest If I had somewhere to hide Then I wouldn't stay around you I don't need your pity Lord kill the pain I see it now, a cast of extras Staring me down with blank expressions Just look away, I know it's too late Disapproving eyes, isolation and hate I don't want your prayers If you just want me to change Don't like myself either Think I'd rather self pity A painted youth slithered into the bathroom Where is thine shelter? Little did they know Little did they show The wages of sin is death A curse upon my head A plank in your eye A shortness of breath Apollo please release me A season of weakness Leave me to rest Lest you continue your cruelty Leave me to rest I am the one they pity A burning feeling, you just can't disguise So won't you please rid me Of these clothes that I so despise I am the one they pity Better off just by myself Wallow in my self pity I'm hoping you could never tell Always make me feel filthy Better off just by myself Wallow in my self pity I'm hoping you could never tell Always make me feel filthy I don't need your pity I don't need your pity
