Killer Life

When I was young,
 and unbroken,
 I tried so hard to get under my mama's skin,
 and so it begins.
 I braced myself,
 embraced myself,
 misplaced myself,
 and all with a shit eating grin,
 and the prick of a pin.
 It's a Killer Life,
 It's a Killer Life,
 It's a Killer Life,
 Now on with the show!
 I built this house with walls of flesh
 and broken bones
 and skins
 and I must confess,
 That I'm a sweet mess.
 I changed by guard,
 with no regard
 I'm not unscarred so far,
 but I'm a success,
 of bitter sweetness!
 It's a Killer Life,
 It's a Killer Life,
 It's a Killer Life,
 Now on with the show!
