The Last Strings Attached

He'd always been struggling, All through his life Had been looking for love, But in the right places, hard to find His mother had left him, His father was an addict The girl whom he loved, Kept shattering his heart, with full impact You might think he was cool, For he was a rebel But it was a cry for attention, But it only attracted the devil Misread, broken, and misunderstood Is what his they had created him to be Trying to hold it together, with the last strings attached But the lord never heard his plea Hated by the right, Loved by the wrong The strings are breaking off into laces Can never change, the dreadful story is always the same, But just with many different faces
