Defective Toy

believing there is something different
fighting off indifferent moments

never one to truly conform
always seemed outside the norm

nothing seems to be going right
awake in dreams all day and night

like a puppet on a string
you tried to play with me 

with every devious , unmoral thought
I know exactly who I fought

the natural flow can seem out of sync
your bondage chains connecting links

mental games and mental wars
influence the crack of emotional trap doors

your playing field for girls and boys
just one of the devils defective toys

violence and hatred , death and disease
emptiness hungers , suffering for peace

internal battles rage , just another ploy
being one of the devils , defective toys
