Free Fallin'

I've lost sight of everything that I wanted to love.
I've lost my need to be needed.
By you, or anyone else.

I've lost my tolerance for irrelevance.
I've lost my will to be indifferent.
I've lost a scarf he bought from Budapest.

I've lost the ability to absorb shock.
It bounces and flounces and shocks someone else.
I've lost the love of my seventeen years of life.

I've lost my capacity for sentimentality.
I've lost my adulation for perfection.
I've lost so much hair so much blood so much grit.
I've lost my life.
I've lost my sense of comprehension of things right and wrong.

I've lost count of the things I have lost.
