bully's-no-good-cold

still waiting
for that panacea
for my fix
a coded signal that tells my cells to smarten up

till then i'm broken
rendered almost unplayable
i mean, you can try
but there'll always be that nagging doubt
the possibility that at any moment
i'll crash
and you'll lose any progress
turn me off in disgust

and each time
it gets harder and harder to try again
you're more reluctant to turn me on
distrust lurks just at the edges
you'll pretend its not there
but we both know i'm not fooling anyone

i'm broken
frozen
i've ruined your game
spoiled your fun

and a bully's no good cold
