Worthless Penny Jar

All my bronze has peeled right off

The third best medal lost it all

No booze to blame, no downhill climb

Its only Blaine, its only mine

No song of joy, no right deed done

I lost it all and Im the one

Im better than no worse yet still

Hypocrisy, chose to die on hills

I am no man I am no boy

I am no fun I am no toy


I was beat and used had all excuse

To be in third Id always lose

So give up on me you will in time


I chickened out when I had won

To leave with all or less than some

I gave up on myself, it wasnt hard

And now Im a worthless penny jar


Why cant you see who I have hurt

All the friends I left lost in dirt

To hope we'd die when we were four

Because I can not be responsible for what is irredeemable

Freedom is a chore


Let loose the legs Ive hugged

Let loose the hearts Ive tugged

End my misery of train of thought

Cut my sinful arms right off

Make all thats guilty go away

Make all who love me please just stay

Remove their doubts remove my own

Remove my eyes and my foul nose

Just scrape the rest of me right off

And sell it for a better friend
