For What It's NOT Worth

I am listening to your lecture
But it's only courteous indenture
As your insults burn
And away I turn
'Cause I'm conscious and breathing
And calmly receiving
Your endless convictions and curses in my ears

You aren't worth the space
Can't run with the pace
And as you run down the list
I'm sitting right here
And able to peer
Out into the rain
Face streaming with pain
You gave me
For what it's not worth: don't you see?

God, can you stop now?
You'd think I don't know how
To breathe freely
Singing steely
Notes getting lost severely
Costly
You're never going to end this madness

I try so hard to make you cheery
But all I get is to be teary
Don't you care?
What do I feel?
You're hurting me
I'm dying slowly...

Dying slowly...
