I don’t know anymore
Life’s got me down

I failed a test today
Failed it bad
Thirty questions to go when the bell rang

My best friend I’m better than in so many ways
Yet somehow he manages to get laid
He gets girls he wants
I think I understand how
Is it his intelligence, his physique, or his heart?
No its confidence which is something I lack

My self esteem drops down ten points a day
And I’m beginning to think that I just might me gay
Tried listening to music to serenade my soul
Heard Marilyn Manson scream about The Beautiful People

Things seem real bad, at least for today
But perhaps if I persevere things will end up OK
