You'Re a Dead Horse

(So Beat It) How many times must I forgive you Before You meant just what you said How often must I play these games Until We're forced to forfeit at the hands Of your disease You're so busy crying wolf that you've Forgotten you're red-handed The Scene of the crime laced by the scars that You have made, your words Born From the poison that an absent mother brings I've spent my life keeping your secret Could You tell me why I should? Give me one good reason to protect the Twisted Logic that's become fail proof Hogwash is your calling card, bipolar is Your Excuse for when you drop from My life completely, without a single sound There, I said it: you're insane, and I'll Venture far enough to say that now it's all Your fault You had the chance to dig yourself Out, and now that it's too late, you're dragging All Of us down Yes, I'll admit that you're a burden But I still don't want you dead Since you've officially denied to be my Mom I want you gone instead, as You've for years intended. For once, I Wish It wasn't all about you. I'm Caring about me for a start, not that you Could tell Oh, you've missed your cue? Well I'll give you a hint: this is the part where You act like the adult, so I Can be a kid again I'm evicting you and all your secrets out The Front door of my mind, and onto The corner of the real world that you can't Seem To find. I've been your helpless hostage Just one too many times. You were once violent, Always Cruel, and never the mom I'd be Ashamed to leave behind I guess this is ta-ta for now, so don’t let your ego Hit you in the rear on your Way out
