Distorted

Here I am for all to see
but nothing is as it seems
I am the darkness, I am the plight
Anger all day, pain all night

I'm someone you don't want to find
Contagious sickness of the mind
Why must I fake a smile?
My happiness is futile

Twist my arm behing my back
Ridicule me until I crack
Put my heart into a blender
Force me to surrender

Blank expression on my face
I'm nothing to you but a waste
Twisted smile is really a frown
Berate me as I slowly drown

Just pull the damn trigger
Diseased and getting sicker
Calloused emotions from all this stress
Distorted visions, call me unblessed

The recognition that this is true
Causes words to misconstrue
As a sad little smile crosses my face
I realize I'm my own disgrace

Nothing left in this empty heart
Dreams torn and falling apart
Taught by your unnatural catechism
I conform into your unholy religion
