Closer

Self starter since the age of ten I didn’t know I’d have to go down fighting
Down this road
Again class clown to a corner I was bound a dunce cap wearing. Real God fearin
Who never
Made a sound
I cut my head out of the classroom picture and thought that I was the victor I
was blind
Now I’m closer to the ideal complexion
Closer for my own protection
Closer to the edge
I never thought that I could be so blind
A white shirt plaid tie wearing, child prodigy
Two steps from sanity
One from the edge
A glance away from a face that shatters me
As photogenic as a freak
Poster boy for the meek
Pale face and week
God damn, my future looks bleak
I cut my head out of the classroom picture and thought that I was the victor I
was blind
I’m closer to the ideal complexion
Closer for my own protection
Closer to the edge
I never thought that I could be so blind blind
