'wear your scars with pride' she said,

'there is no hiding it.

only time can heal your wounds,

time and bandages'


you were the bravest of the lot

but a lot it got you!

you were the martyr

and they were the fire

now you're burning yourself in the name of the liars

it's too bad

that you were had


there was no election

only frowns and stares in your direction

your future cemented

you were cut out of stone

like they left you in

that hospital wing

they were scared to death

to leave you alone



you were the bravest of the lot

but a lot it got you!

you were the martyr

and they were the fire

now you're burning yourself in the name of the liars

it's too bad

that you were had


you weren't an easy sell,

but hey, you're not invincible

an artificial heart

for an artificial girl...
