lyrics

My desire to be marked as a defeated man
haunts me like only you know it can
And the great stench of failure that springs from my breath
is just too hard to keep down

An overbearing scowl glued to my face
A well-intentioned albatross that I shooed away
Oh, and once again it’s you, the captain of the ship meant to obliterate
just me
The Boy Who Can’t Read
