Bathed In Labels
  He’s the captain of the football team.
  And she’s his cheerleader.  The popular.
  Life’s newest members.  The Emo kids
  gather wherever they please.  Bragging
  how they’re not life’s followers.  That’s
  the problem with their delusion.
  He’s the hero
  The delusion of a hero.
  And she’s the damsel.
  Always in distress.
  And they’re the jokers
  The observers
  Always the victims of
  an awkward situation. 
  Forever with the drugs
  Forever with the drama
  And forever with detentions.
  Perfection is a myth.
  Is a myth
  The grades are everywhere
  Somedays I’m rich and most days
  I’m poor.  The natural rumors of
  “I’m this” and “I’m that” mingle
  and become gibberish to my ears.
  I’m a scratcher – a biter
  It’s my self-mutilation
  Stuck in depression.
  And I want to change just like
  The butterfly
  He’s the delusion of a hero.
  And she’s the damsel always in distress.
  And we’re the jokers
  The observers
  Stuck in the situation
  I’m a scratcher – a biter
  Forever with the drugs
  Forever with the drama
  It’s a ticket to detention
  Well I’d rather be there
  Than outside.
  Perfection is a myth
  “I’m this” and “I’m that”.
  Perfection is a myth
  I’m this but I’m not you
  Label the hell out of me.
