[Investing in Me]

This human nature sling
is becoming such a strangling thing
Trying to hold me up
in an awkward position
I just might throw up
What part of transition
means staying the same?
Why's there a crack in your voice
when you scream my name?
Was it by choice
to play my game?
Never satisfied
because it's your loss
and my gain
Did you expect me
to tell you what you wanted to hear?
Can't you see
you're getting closer to your fear
when I whisper those words
in your lonely ear
Investing in me
never became so clear
The ripping rage inside
you refuse to hide
keeps sifting through me
until your feelings die
'cause you can't spread your wings
they're too heavy for flight
and with broken bones
you continue to fight
but you're down on luck
and the wounds won't heal
you're just waiting in a storm
drowning until
there's nothing warm
left to kill
