Artificial Flavor

My sweet side hates my sour side

My sour hates my sweet

Sometimes I hate myself so much

I wish I wasn't me



So I found new ingredients

To change my recipe

Replace the things I didn't like

So I'd taste differently



But somehow when I stirred in things

I though would make me greater

I accidently added too much

Artificial flavor



So I'm crying on the inside

While I'm smiling on the out

Pretending that I'm still okay

As life comes crashing down



Now my sweet side's disappeared

My sour could care less

I'm a fake, a fraud, not even God

Could help me fix this mess



I really hate who I've become

Though everyone else loves her

She's insecure, she's immature

I want to rise above her



But with the absence of sugar

And the overabundance of spice

My angel wings were clipped, I fell

And evil replaced the nice



My soul is sinking slowly

Into a deep abyss

I aimed to make me better

Its apparent that I missed



Please don't make the same mistake

Be happy with yourself

Don't ever wish to be like me

Or anybody else



My sweet side hates my sour side

My sour hates my sweet

This artificial flavor's

Ruined every part of me
