Lyrics for Somewhat Damaged

So impressed with all you do Tried so hard to be like you Flew too high and burnt the wing Lost my faith in everything Lick around divine debris Taste the wealth of hate in me Shedding skin succumb defeat This machine is obsolete Made the choice to go away Drink the fountain of decay Tear a hole exquisite red Fuck the rest and stab it dead Broken, bruised, forgotten, sore Too fucked up to care anymore Poison to my rotten core Too fucked up to care anymore Broken, bruised, forgotten, sore Too fucked up to care anymore Poison to my rotten core Too fucked up to care anymore In the back, off the side and far away Is a place, where I hide, where I stay Tried to say, tried to ask, I needed to All alone, by myself, where were you? How could I ever think it's funny how Everything you swore, it wouldn't change, is different now Just like you would always say, we'll make it through Then my head fell apart and where were you? How could I ever think it's funny how Everything you swore would never change is different now Like you said, you and me will make it through Didn't quite, fell apart, where the fuck were you?
