Occupy myself with the thought I'm doing well
Smile at every child who's young enough to tell
Instigate the others while I cover up my flaws
Our apathy will tear us apart

It's senseless

Too bored to be with people, too alone to never try
Disappointment is the reason that I cover up and hide
Take another stab at getting through to me
The pain is not the thing that scares, it's what they want from me

It's senseless

Take a stone, hit me 'till I break my bones
Cover me in blood, make me feel at home
Burn my soul, spread its ashes on the floor
Take me for a fool, push me through the door

Some are born in glitter, some are born in gold
Some are born magnificent, but I was born too old
A vision just obstructs you when a brain gets in the way
Authenticity’s a problem if you think twice about what you say

It's senseless
