Salvation is here to save us all
But I'm excluded to the meeting of two walls
And I can't tell what time it is
And you don't care enough to ask if it's his

A part of me removed
When a diamond cannot be approved,
Red is black, blue is gray
And I cannot stare directly at the light of day

I am forced to contend with vapid
My last sliver of decency hanging, flaccid
Plus this not accepting society
Has succumb to propriety

Two people meet, they become best friends
One proposes they ruin someone's life, make their happiness end
The other looks at him with a puzzled expression
He eventually agrees, and this is the source of my depression

Exaggerations and metaphors
Unless said with open doors
I cannot do what I do in a public place
I'm a personality without a face

Writing novels that will go nowhere
And the stupid drum beats blare
The pigment in my cheeks rises
As you say things, me, it surprises
Serotonin in my brain depletes
And this vicious cycle repeats
You could say I'm not one for meet and greets
And I want to scratch it til it bleeds

You cringe at the things I say
Because your patience begins to fray
But I can say that the feeling is mutual
Even though I'm more unusual

But you've got to understand
I don't deserve who I am
I reach out to grasp social acceptance
Even though it makes me seem very pretentious

I'm weird, I get it
I just wish you cared, even a little bit
If I'm younger than you, be a role model
Don't make me want to stab myself with a broken bottle
