im put back on the shelf in your mirror

and it isnt exceptional
the course of our fate
so , people love and they hate
and i guess its just our turn to hate

yeah , you were just some song i wrote
a poem on a page
a sculpture i made out of clay
desire was the flame

but now youre more of a basketball
boys just pass you around
they bounce you hard on the ground and dribble
and then we all get high fives

and you think im an asshole now
well , youre probably right
but at least im not blind to the facts
ive been wishing were lies

but still i hope you get everything
that you care to possess
and unbelievable sxx with him
or any one of my friends

but just dont ask about my appetite
i didnt lose it tonight
no , its been gone half my life
its just act , ive been eating for you
