My Nervous System

Broken inside for a long time now.
People waiting to take a hit.
You're such easy prey
(for the people you've met).
And, you've only yourself to blame.

Searching for knowledge from within.
Waiting to smash the PURIST mind.
Not as innocent as you thought.
Giving love out, but, not taking it in.
Can't stay hard, now SHARP.
And, you've only yourself to blame.

Building walls to keep the eyes out.
Closing doors to keep the light out.
Shattered ego to the core.
Living with one foot in the grave (5 more left).

Hopeless and helpless and less, useless.
Now the pointed edges cut and everyone
shares your shame.
And, you've only yourself to blame.

If I'm taught it, what use is it?
Useless, I teach it.
