Your Favorite Scapegoat

Somewhere lies the child
I never got to be.
Somewhere hides the darkness
Just waiting to be free
Just like a cancer
I've killed it all
All that’s good in me


Where I’ve been
What I’ve done
Who I’ve had to be
Just lies, all lies
All there is to me

Burrow deeper under the skin
I’ll never be clean
It sits there on the surface
It’s all that anyone sees.
No matter how hard I scream
No matter how red I bleed
All that you ever cared to see
Is what you tried to make of me


Always so damn wrong.
Always the one at fault
Always your favorite scapegoat
Always your favorite scapegoat
