I have been and always will be broken.
You say that you're slipping away As you turn from the hand that could save you You fell like a drunk down a well Like a dog into Hell you were sinking And you took it all in as a joke As if you didn't know you were broken Hiding out in the rain you stood soaking
Breathing in the glass to your last lung All blackened and cracking and blue Creeping through the slums of your old world Where nothing about you is new They laughed and as they turned their backs
You slid into a crack no one saw And stayed there for a very long time Dying of nothing at all Though you went to the doctor to cope And he sold you the new antidote And he told you that you had been broken
They say you gave yourself away for a moment But no one would take you You said, I'm alive, but you're dead Cause nothing about you is new Even though you had been diagnosed And were given the new antidote And were numb to the rain and the soaking You have been and always will be broken

Haven't thought about it much. But maybe Mad World:
All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces Bright and early for their daily races Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses No expression, no expression Hide my head, I wanna drown my sorrow No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kinda funny I find it kinda sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very, very mad world, mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday And I feel the way that every child should Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous No one knew me, no one knew me Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kinda funny I find it kinda sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very, very mad world, mad world
A memory is something that has to be consciously recalled, right? That's why sometimes it can be mistaken and a different thing. But it's different from a memory locked deep within your heart. Words aren't the only way to tell someone how you feel.” Tifa Lockheart, Final Fantasy VII

Thank you. Though the concept was a quad personality (I know I have no such disorders) It's been my theme song since I first heard it in '73. I just glommed onto it. For some reason it just spoke to me on authority figures not taking me serious or just passing me on. But, you are right.....It has taken on special meaning at this time.

When you get to be my age there is more then one song. Here are some of them.
Suzanne Vega Left of Center
The appropriatly named "Missing Persons" with "Destination Unknown" and "Windows"
Oingo Boingo - On The Outside
Quote:
They laugh at me aloud They say I'm just a clown That I ain't got no pride I'm on the outside The girls look really cute They really make it work They think I'm just a jerk I'm on the outside I never could sit still I never was too hip I never caught the ride I'm on the outside
I'm on the outside, I'm on the outside now This is where it all begins right here On the outside lookin' in, I'm on the outside
I never was a punk I never shot junk I never even tried counter Culture passed me right by (I'm on the outside)
Don't talk to debutantes Don't eat in restaurants The patrons sit and stare The waiters make wise cracks behind my back (I'm on the outside)
Teachers there in school They flunked me by the rule They say I had no motivation, brains or dedication I guess the imbeciles were right I'm on the outside
I'm on the outside, I'm on the outside now This is where it all begins on the outside looking in Looking in At you I'm just an alien through and through Tryin' to make believe I'm you Tryin' to fit Just a stranger on the outside looking in
The disco makes me sick I Wear the wrong clothes I say the wrong things You know I can't dance My feet are much too wide (I'm on the outside)
You think you set the trends You wear your hair just right Your clothes are out-a-sight Your house is modern really kitch You get so macho when you're with your b***h (I'm on the outside)
I see them go to work I see them go to sleep I see them on T.V. I see them laugh and cry I'm on the outside. I'm on the outside. I'm on the outside
I'm on the outside. I'm on the outside now I'm on the outside I'm on the outside now
