They told you you were ill
so you swallowed the pill
You look so pathetic
Eaten by the hungry termites
of self-disbelief
Stand before the mirror
And look into my eyes
Eyes filled with horror
Why inject my spine
with a sense of incompetence
Is a little compliment
worth more than a cent?
Is believing in me a curse
