we, the fuck-ups

drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes
bad memories, thoughts and tough regrets
save us from our own sanity
by handing us society's vanity

we bathe in fire and breathe in smoke
we inhale deeply, our airways broke
as we sing, we scream and shout
our heads filled with hidden doubt

we hold our heads up high
on our lips, a silent sigh
we know we're grand and tall
but inside, we feel very small

you couldn't understand
our emotions are banned
we've blocked ourselves too well
now we're just an empty shell
