Fine Dining - Boy Hero

First of all, daughter has changed from school clothes to something more festive

Dressing a little makes her feel, and consequently look, more charming

Even the table takes on a special air

I’ve been groomed to bend into

The never-ending song of a mockingbird’s tune

Stroking my hair with desperation I stare

A rope for attention, a hope that you mention my name

That I’m more than a stain on your clean reputation

More than the pain of your weak medication

You’ve made invitations

Sent out dinner reservations for two so that you can consume

Another boy who’s just a toy in your room

It’s the worst that you never hurt

And I hate that you can’t relate

To this smoke show with mirrors I watch myself play

It’s the worst that I never learned

And I hate the look on your face

In this beautiful horror that I can’t escape

I chose to ignore

All the blood on the floor

From all of the times that you cut me before

Too mesmerized by the face I adored

To survive you kissed me good night, you told me play nice

But a sadist shows love with the tip of a knife

Could you have the common decency

Not to stand there and watch me bleed?

It’s the worst that you never hurt

And I hate that you can’t relate

To this smoke show with mirrors I watch myself play

It’s the worst that I never learned

And I hate the look on your face

In this beautiful horror that I can’t escape

(I can’t escape)

Are you having any fun yet?

Are you having any fun yet?

(Having fucking fun?)

Any second thoughts of us yet?

Are you bored with the bodies piled up in this room?

Now I party with corpses that are better than you

It’s the worst that you never hurt

And I hate that you can’t relate

To this smoke show with mirrors I watch myself play

It’s the worst that I never learned

And I hate the look on your face

In this beautiful horror that I can’t escape

Well, the dinner date has begun, and they’re all happy about it
