all my misfits, I miss you
since you've been gone
the rest of us go on and on
in the long days, dog days
we try to remember
why we bother
you're my brothers and sisters
and along the line a part of you died
I don't know why, or where to find it
but I know that no friend
or enemy
can prevent you from finding it again
red wine and cigarettes didn't help
but try using yourself:
you're stronger than you think
and it seems ridiculous to me
how you see yourself
‘cause I see so much beauty
and movements that move me
in a seldom seen kid like you
believe me, I've been there,
playing noughts and crosses on my own arm/
harming my head more than anything else
so to all the underachievers
and daydream believers
please see what I'm saying
it takes a while to adjust
and accept it's a part of us
for better or for worse
know that you're not broken,
that if you can't beat them
you don't have to join them
divide that JOY and find some for yourself
