I guess by the bloodstain on your lips
And the wander of your fingertips
I should proof true to my emptyness
And stay here
Well i'm just a kid of ill repute
But the skin i wear's my only suit
And you are just a substitute
For the one that i hold dear
You know you could be anyone
God forgive my tastless tongue
I never should have been set free
I carve my eyes, i skin my face
And beg somehow to be replaced
That's how we deal with boys like me
i guess by this world so sick with loss
And your services so free of cost
I should climb down off my rugged cross
And lay with you
but you know by now it's half past late
And i only came here for escape
You, you're just my next mistake
Like me to you
You know you could be anyone
God forgive your unborn sons
I hope they don't end up like me
I drag my mind through streets of shame
Blame myself, forgive the game
That's how we deal with boys like me
But despite what you're been told
I once had a soul
Left somewhere behind
A former friend of mine
And i hate to speak so free
But you mean nothing to me
So if the streetlights they shine bright
I'll be home tonight
I guess by the dim light in your eyes
And that to you all things come as a surprise
I should set the steel trap of your thighs
And dive right in
To you i'm just a confused child
Insecure or in denial
Go raise your robes,
go have your trial
I'll let you win
You know i could be anyone
God forgive what i should have done
My thoughts enough to guilty be
And yes, i guess i made this bed
But i'll take the sidewalk instead
That's how we deal with boys with me
But despite what you've been told
I once had a soul
Left somewhere behind
A former friend of mine
And i hate to sound so true
But i mean nothing to you
And with the streetlights they shine bright
I'll be home tonight
