Why do you always leave when I need you the most Abandon ship in the only boat I never learned just how to be Anything to get away from me Pick your poison, up down or side to side I've been involved with all of you I let you ruin my life Another faceless casualty A self imposed tragedy Living outside in the margins A pariah tortured within Criminalized deviation from a norm never agreed upon An outcast pushed to spiral out of their control Pick your poison, up down or side to side I've been involved with all of you I let you ruin my life You fucking left me, left all alone Was once a king, but now dethroned Back to the empty, joyless nothing That's engulfed and taken everything A black embrace, a lifelong chase Hide it behind a manufactured face A black embrace, a lifelong chase
