Unfortunate Sight

I can take a song and give it power more power than it already has whats in a name when actions are louder than words? look at me the unfortunate sight an addict among the wealthy beat down and shut down trampled on before i get up another reason to give up and back to square one of my personal plan to fail Watch me drown in my misery happily ever after Among the wealthy as i wear dirty clothes and spend my money on addictions feeling alone feeling helpless feeling lost confused knowing im crazy and guilty here i am the unfortunate sight Im not allowed Im not invited here i am a personal plan to fail will you help me succeed? will you help me out of this rut? will you show me a better way to live? tears in my eyes hiding from myself i dont understand anymore why i choose either or and lie to me and you and pretend im fine an exaggerated example just to show you how smoking makes you cough and the tragedy of drinking and drugs i cant make you feel its all about me and thats the problem im not numb like the rest of the world im new at this
