Despite what you've been told

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
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

You know you could be anyone

I hope they don´t end up like me
