“A Confusing World”


I’m a guest star
In a world of bizarre dreams
And lonely hopes.

Some people cope with the worst that they're handed.
Some hope for the worst type of slope.

Some are regulars in this bizarre and lonely world—
Some type of pain is what makes ‘em tick.
The usual angst and struggles that make most sick
Is exactly what makes these strange and unusual wonders pick
Sorrow over success.

Darkness is what they're used to.
They like it when their life is a mess.
They like it when they can’t sleep.
Tears are tattooed on their cheeks.
