Killer Life

When I was young,

and unbroken,

I tried so hard to get under my mama's skin,

and so it begins.

I braced myself,

embraced myself,

misplaced myself,

and all with a shit eating grin,

and the prick of a pin.

It's a Killer Life,

It's a Killer Life,

It's a Killer Life,

Now on with the show!

I built this house with walls of flesh

and broken bones

and skins

and I must confess,

That I'm a sweet mess.

I changed by guard,

with no regard

I'm not unscarred so far,

but I'm a success,

of bitter sweetness!

It's a Killer Life,

It's a Killer Life,

It's a Killer Life,

Now on with the show!
