i am self absorbed
i have tunnel vision
Pay attention to me
...I AM JACK
i am Jack's blood blister
good sister, bad sister
i am Jack's swollen pride
the unwanted free ride
i am Jack's racing heart
his premature start
Jack's boozeless hangover
Jack's monthly roll over
i am Jack's unprevoked rage
sour like alcohol middle age
i am Jack's desire for death
i am Jack's bad breath
i am Jack's top spin, and tail spin
his headspin, and free spin
I am Jack's revealed incest
a court ordered blood test
i am Jack's unanswered calls
..I AM Jack's marble eyeballs
i am Jack's cold steel bullet
in Jack's cold steel gun
i am a second of regret
before the deed is done
I am Jack's exploding skull
and Jack's brain on the wall

I HATE JACK
