From Despair to Where

I write this alone on my bed

I've poisoned every room in my house

The place is quiet and so alone

Pretend there's something worth waitin' for

There's nothing nice in my head

The adult world took it all away

I wake with same spit in my mouth

I cannot tell if it's real or not

I try to walk in a straight line

An imitation of dignity

From despair to where?

From despair to where?

Outside, opened-mouthed crowds

Pass each other as if they're drugged

Down pale corridors of routine

Where life falls un-atoned

The weak kick like straw

Till the world means less and less

Words are never enough

Just cheap tarnished glitter

I try to walk in a straight line

An imitation of dignity

From despair to where?

From despair to where?

A cripple walks in a straight line

An imitation of dignity

From despair to where?

From despair to where?
