Staring at a half dead man out of the corner of my eye
The world is spinning slower for him today
He tries to speak but is lips are stuck together
Instead he dies right then right there
Not knowing who his parents were
How does it feel?
To be reduced to nothing but a stain on a mattress
Or on that red dress
To know that everything is fake
You’re just a mistake
She dropped her glass of wine
The night I made her mine
Enough for a distraction
To put it into action
Its not fair
A softcore boy in a hardcore neighborhood
Fights asthma attacks to survive
He looks outside of his foster home
And dreams that someday he will have a family
His eyes begin to foam
With the tears of rejection he hits the floor
How does it feel?
To be reduced to nothing but a stain on a mattress
Or on that red dress
To know that everything is fake
You’re just a mistake
She dropped her glass of wine
The night I made her mine
Enough for a distraction
To put it into action
Its not fair
Irresponsibilty not to mention stupidity leads to broken hearts
Think of that before you lock the door hit the lights
Picture the future before the current affair starts
Think of all that as your dates turn into over-nights
Think
Just Think
Just Think
Just Think
How would it feel?
To be reduced to nothing but a stain on a mattress
Or on that red dress
To know that everything is fake
You’re just a mistake
She dropped her glass of wine
The night I made her mine
Enough for a distraction
To put it into action
Its not fair
Its not right
But how can I care
When she says she wants me tonight.
And that’s reality
