i'Ve watched my peers surpass me as i lay left in the dirt 
been cut short so many times, i think i'm used to being hurt 
when things are too perfect, i gotta self destruct 
cause i'm masochistic loser, i like feeling like i'm f**ked 

like a cold you can't shake, or a habit you can't break 
staring back at a shattered mirror, i don't recognize my face 
see age carving itself into my weathered skin 
but still i wake up each day knowing i can't win 

watching bills stack up, a collection warning everyday 
drowning in debt and regret, with no way for me to pay 
the constant struggle and uphill battle, i'm losing the war 
a man must know his limits, i can't take anymore 

draining me like a battery 
only concerned with your urge to feed 
bleeding me dry no will left to fight 
sucking my soul like a parasite
