The Depraved

I dont understand 
and cant stand 
cruel hearts 
and for the most part 
dont care to 
im not like you 
dont miscontrue 
the way i feel 
to be real mean 
cuz i mean, look 
u stay a closed book 
take a look at yourself 
its unhealthy to bottle up inside 
and hide from everyone 
you gotta outrun your fears 
years coulda been saved 
tears coulda been saved 
depraved minded all this time 
not thinking it a crime 
to hurt those around you 
but its true that indeed 
that the innocent bleed 
at your feet 
defeated and breathless 
hopeless and lost 
at the cost of what? 
your pleasure? 
there is no measure 
of how digusted i am 
and i am disgusted 
at the very least 
at how you feast 
on others' pain 
and embarrassment 
whether thats how you vent or not 
you think your a big shot 
taking cheap shots 
bullying your way thru life 
well you feel good? 
you feel empowered?? 
Well all i see 
is a hopeless weak coward.
