My Flaws Are Open Season

"Bother" by Stone Sour

Wish I was too dead to cry
My self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater

You don't need to bother
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
I won't let go till it bleeds

Wish I was too dead to care
If indeed I cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me shit to digest

I wish I had a reason
My flaws are open season
For this, I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying

You don't need to bother
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
I won't let go till it bleeds

Wish I'd died instead of lived
A zombie hides my face
Shell forgotten
With its memories
Diaries left
With cryptic entries

And you don't need to bother
I don't need to be
(I don't need to be)
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
I won't let go till it bleeds

You don't need to bother
I don't need to be
(I don't need to be)
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
I'll never live down my deceit


Look, I know a lot of you could care less about song lyrics. But the song above IS my entry. Word for word. Serious here.

Tell you what, I'll even break it down for you:

Wish I was too dead to cry
I do wish that, a lot of the time. My tears are a weakness. Being alive to cry is NOT a good thing.

My self-affliction fades
More like my desire for affliction, but it boils down to the same thing.

Stones to throw at my creator
Hate her. Hate me. Hate it. Hate him. Hate a lot of people, myself included, who can safely be charged with 'making me what I am today'.

Masochists to which I cater
What, you think I always hurt them because I want to? Think again.

You don't need to bother
You don't. As I've said before, this is my whining ranting place. It'll go away. Or get better. Or something.

I don't need to be
I don't. The longer I exist, the more reasons I find NOT to exist. They're winning.

I'll keep slipping farther
One piece at a time. Everything I try to strengthen my hold on this world... ends up just pushing me away.

But once I hold on
I won't let go till it bleeds
*amused* Yeah. Blood.

Wish I was too dead to care
If indeed I cared at all
Hard to tell some days if I'm actually caring, or if it's just some weird apathy-state. Or dreams. Lots of dreams.

Never had a voice to protest
It's oddly true. The only parts of me that truly HATE this world, ALL the time... they're the ones who are gagged, beaten, silenced.

So you fed me shit to digest
Thank you, oh teachers of all sorts.

I wish I had a reason
I do. I wish I had a reason other than blind survival, unending pain, or just fucked-in-the-head.

My flaws are open season
Why d'you think I try so hard to get RID of them?

For this, I gave up trying
Not for 'this'... for 'him'.

One good turn deserves my dying
Ask me about this one. About an old entry found somewhere. A suicide note. "This was the best day I've ever had. I couldn't bear seeing it get worse."

Wish I'd died instead of lived
YES.

A zombie hides my face
Any mask will do, sometimes.

Shell forgotten
With its memories

You have no idea how much I've forgotten. ~I~ have no idea how much I've forgotten. It irritates me.

Diaries left
With cryptic entries
*bows gracefully*

You don't need to bother
And you don't. But if I actually don't want you to, you will... and if I do want you to, you won't.

I don't need to be
(I don't need to be)

*sighs*

I'll keep slipping farther
Every day, every little bit of control lost...

But once I hold on
I'll never live down my deceit

...is another day where I have a chance to finish this.
