Shove the lie inside of me and break it off.
Leave it in so I can neither heal nor bleed out.
Leave it in so I have to live with it.
I'll cover it up, try to ignore it,
pick at it until I'm sobbing in the dark.
I'll hate it until I have to love it or eat a bullet.
I'll rebrand it as shrapnel, a kind of dark blessing.
I'll call it a badge of honor and courage in the hope
that honor and courage will materialize.
I'll blame you for everything
and my rage will defer the pain for a while.
I'll blame god and society and tv and rock and roll
because none of them saved me.
I'll blame myself, my every weakness,
every mistake, every hint of imperfection.
I'll make a huge gaudy show of forgiveness
and nothing will change.
I'll die the way I was always going to
- cursing and flailing and frightened.
But they will say I was more, better, brave, strong.
The lie will be the truth they know,
and it will be greater than anything
I could've been without you.
