Victim to Be - Pears

I am not crazy

I am merely afraid

My time’s been spent, my options weighed

Now I am pitted

Front and center stage

Seatbelt unfastened, the sweet ache engaged

Remain suspended, past and futures

With twice the blood and half the sutures

Remain suspended, past and futures

With twice the blood on my hands

Victim to be

Reach down to pet

A pathetic display

Waste of regret

Act out of hatred

I acknowledge my own

I have bet nothing, set in stone

To simply exist

I’m a sick kind of free

Just a placeholder for all the things I will be

Remain suspended, past and futures

With twice the blood and half the sutures

Remain suspended, past and futures

With twice the blood on my hands

Victim to be

Reach down to pet

A pathetic display

Waste of regret

(spoken) I am not a toy

No!

I am a man, I am a man

I am a man, I am a man

I am a man, I am a man

A victim always

Of circumstance

I wish that I had my very own chance

Remain suspended, past and futures

With twice the blood and half the sutures

Remain suspended, past and futures

With twice the blood on my hands

Victim to be

Reach down to pet

A pathetic display

Waste of regret
