Armatage Shanks

Stranded, lost inside myself
My own worst friend and my own closest enemy
I’m branded, maladjusted
Never trusted anyone, let alone myself

I must insist
On being a pessimist
I’m a loner in a catastrophic mind

Elected the rejected
I perfected the science of the idiot
No meaning, and no healing
Self-loathing freak and introverted deviant

I’m gettin’ pissed
I’m a worthless pessimist
I’m a loner in a claustrophobic mind
