"Island Of The Misfit Boy" lyrics
"Island Of The Misfit Boy"
I love to sleep, 'cause I pretend that I'm dead
But I hate waking up, 'cause it's hard to forget
That I've lost all control of this life that I've held so dear
And I wait for the bus, but I'm not on the bench
I'm just spread across the ground, making friends with cement
Hoping that the bus won't miss me when it comes my way
Well, I made a few jokes, but they said they weren't funny
I tried to force a smile, but they said it was ugly
I tried to make a friend, no one was a friend to me
Poured my heart to a girl, and it went on the floor
And I asked her what she wanted, and she said she wanted more
I tried to find a lover, all I found was an enemy
Well, I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself
And I don't make a sound, but my eyes scream out, "Help"
And I start to struggle to hold myself back
From thrusting my head straight through the fucking glass
And I'm tired of falling for girls that don't care
And breaking my back to try to make them aware
That I'm more than depressed, and their time won't be wasted
But I am just a broken boy that no one wants to play with
Now I'm lost in this hole, and I'm sure I am stuck
And I can't run away, 'cause I'm lazy as fuck
So, I sit on the floor as I gather my thoughts
And they're full of broken promises that only piss me off
Well, I lost control when I was only a boy
The world taught me angst when I deserve joy
Now I'm breaking down as I struggle to breathe
'Cause I believe in a God who won't believe in me
Well, I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself
And I don't make a sound, but my eyes scream out, "Help"
And I start to struggle to hold myself back
From thrusting my head straight through the fucking glass
And I'm tired of falling for girls that don't care
And breaking my back to try to make them aware
That I'm more than depressed, and their time won't be wasted
But I am just a broken boy that no one wants to play with

Sorority Noise - "Using" I started using again
Left my heart in rocky hill and a whole burning in bed
Needed a distraction from my head
Devil on my shoulder said try this instead
So I started using again
I started sleeping...
Youth Fountain - "Blooms" This will forever be an apology
Cause I know somehow it will set me free
I can't hold onto the self-abuse
It's just not your fault, I missed my chance to bloom
Everything fades away

Dollar Signs - "I Hope I Don't Fuck This Up" I wanted to dedicate a song to you
But all of my songs are about ex-girlfriends and puke
So I sat down to write you a love song
It was full of clichés
It wasn't impressing anyone
Even though I tried...
