Tell me something
I already know
You told me nothing
I couldn't get on my own
Nothing worthwhile
Spending all my time
You told me NOTHING
Why should I waste my time?

I’M MAKING NEGATIVE GAINS
I’VE GOT A POSITIVE VIEW
I’M SCREAMING IT OUT LOUD
WHY WOULD YOU LIE ABOUT IT?
I’M TAKING POSITIVE PAIN
YOU’RE WASTING NEGATIVE YOUTH
YOU NEVER STEP OUT OF LINE
YOU ONLY WHINE ABOUT IT

My ugly, WRETCHED, wasted body
Is grimier than yours, I know!
My intelligence is lower than you'll ever know
You can't assess the damage!

Tell me something
I already know
You told me nothing
I couldn't get on my own
Nothing worthwhile
Spending all my time
You told me NOTHING
Why should I waste my time?

Altered for publishing reasons. Song that I wrote that I'll hopefully play for people one day, should I ever get my act together. Submitting for publishing requirements for a creative writing class. I know who this song's about, and that's alright.
