Affliction
Affliction
i laugh when i walk into the room
and im screaming but no one can see me
and i call you shallow and you turn your back on me
but if only you would see that im hurting
and trying to reach out for help
youre like all the rest of them
those i call my friends
who dont really know me
and when i need them
they cant help
and i laugh when i walk into a room
with these thoughts running thru my brain
and wonder how a bullet would feel in their place
just another friend, a fake, a crack addict
and i cant kick you out
cause you have no job and neither do i
welfare barely the pays the bills
the baby’s screaming
mommy and daddy are fighting again
then making up, making love
its always the same old thing
and i laugh when they walk into the room
our bodies lying on the floor
entangled in a bloody mess
all the while the baby still screams
