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 busting 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

No, 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 deserved joy

Now, I'm breaking down as I struggle to breathe

'Cause I believe in a God who won't believe in me

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 busting 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
