Jetty Bones - Sting

Villain or victim?
I can't write the story without both
When you meet our maker
Will you speak
Or will you choke?
A familiar sound in the silence
It fades out when I try less to die less
I digress
Hopeless feels like more
It's the same walk to the bodega
The same store, the same perks, the same clerk
Who remembers that I said that "I don't drink anymore"
The epitome of self violence
Oh, they'll buy this
Hey kids, try this
It only hurts for a second
And then it won't even sting
Well I hate to break it to you
I'm giving up
Hate to be the bearer of bad news
This whole thing's fucked
I was never better than the rest
Stayed alive and that's my best
So I really hate to break it to you
I'm giving up
The clerk asked "What's the reason for this?"
It's a backlash, a quick wince
"Do you know what they praised me for?
I'm the poster child for survivors."
You really think I could take it back from him?
When I can't even tell my friends
That it happened again
Well I hate to break it to you
I'm giving up
Hate to be the bearer of bad news
This whole thing's fucked
I was never better than the rest
Stayed alive and that's my best
So I really hate to break it to you
I'm giving up
This whole thing's fucked
This whole thing's fucked
This whole thing's fucked
