Edmund Temper

I have a heart like a diamond
 I have a mouth made of lead
 I have a way with my words
 And when I talk they believe every word I've said
 There's a shine in my smile
 It blinds everyone's way
 I have a way with my hands
 And when I play with their heart
 It turns to clay
 So I pray to God
 How could you give them the gift of life
 Then curse me with the hands to take it away
 I never asked you to move the mountain
 I just want the strength to climb it and find a different way
 I got a hundred pound problem that I'm leaving on the side of the road
 Hit the highway and I won't go back until I'm not alone
 I got a game to play if you like to lose
 You can turn me on but honey I'm bad news
 When you're born a shadow in everybody's mind
 Beauty is just a cancer you left behind
 Things would be different if I were a daughter
 I dove headfirst into a pool without water to learn how to swim
 I'm just a boy who lived in the basement
 I got a hundred pound problem that I'm leaving on the side of the road
 Hit the highway and I won't come back until I'm not alone
 I got a game to play if you like to lose
 You can turn me on but honey I'm bad news
 When I stare into the mirror
 I see all the parts I know are wrong
 I can't help but wonder which side I'm really on
 And when the whole world points to hopeless
 I just hope it wasn't all pointless
 And their burden weighs too much to carry alone
 I got a hundred pound problem that I'm leaving on the side of the road
 Hit the highway and I won't come back until I'm not alone
 I got a game to play if you like to lose
 You can turn me on but honey I'm bad, bad, bad news
