Useless Man

Useless man, here I am Struggle just to give a damn Obsolete, incomplete Toss me out to rot to death Decomposer in a world I can't perceive, I can't leave I just wanna make it Create my own reasons to breathe Useless man, what's your plan? You can be anything that you want, but you can't make me like it Do what makes you happy but it don't pay the bills Striving for survival, can I pay my rent in thrills? Useless man, what I am Tryin' to find my place in a world I wasn't built for I spend my time ignored A ghost in the hall, a specter all alone Don't give me a call You know I won't pick up the phone Useless man, useless man Useless man, useless man Sink into my hermitude Strengthening my fortitude Leave me be, the world has given up on me The lights have gone out, I wanna scream and shout Sitting in the dark, my brain emits a spark I shatter my ego with a sledgehammer of doubt Cracked wide open, my head begins to leak My demons surge forth, let out a mighty shriek Try to stuff 'em in so the neighbors don't see With my mental state exposed how embarrassed I would be Ballad of the useless man Ashamed of what he'll never be The places he will never go, the things that he will never see Don't pity the useless man Cuz nobody will understand Don't waste your time on guys like him - futility, stupidity Story of the useless man He tried to understand the way, Why things around him had to change And what he found is that the world is cruel
