Merrick Sympathiser Lyrics - Singles - Labrat

It starts right now 

Stake my claim for the throne of incompetence 

Come last at everything - every time 

I have failed at all I have attempted 

Childhood goals tipped and up-ended 

And you just look at me and say I fucking told you so 

You're not the king of me I'm the king of me 

So why do I still beg for your attention 

My name remains a filthy word unfit for you to mention 

I'm fucking shit, I'm really sick 

I cannot cope, I don't think I can put up with it 

Here we go again - headlong into another scene 

I put hands over my eyes and try to hide 

It never changes, I've never lived up to your expectations 

I am the cancer in your life - I am a burden 

And all the times I tried my best, it's never good enough 

Cause every time I fail the tests - I'm just not good enough 

Too fucking stupid, too fucking dull 

I can never live up to what you want from me 

I've only just begun to find my feet 

And you kick them right out from under me 

I can't compete, this isn't fair I'm the circle that cannot fit the square 

Lying awake, cannot sleep 

Play over in my mind all that you've done to me 

I smile outside - inside I'm screaming 

And silently - in my mind I'll always be your enemy I am your enemy
