Wearing a mask familiar A god forced himself on you Raping and impregnating Causing the exile of your life Since he made you bleed, so violently Painful is the kick Inside it makes you so sick The blood that drips down your thigh

(Chorus x2) I'm wearing thin wearing out becoming weak Holding hands with this rope she's my self-destructive Bleeding disease the things that makes it hard to breathe But if I shoved you far away This addict just starved again asphyxiated And now I see

I'm on a greyhound bound for nowhere On a greyhound bound for nowhere And that ring your wearing Don't mean everything And the way you stood staring As you watched me roll away She loves you and you need me And there's some things we can't share Rain on

Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh) I'm wearing my heart like a crown Pretending that you're still around Oh yes, I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh) Pretending I'm doing well (ooh ooh) My need is
