core dump

he drowns in our pool everyday
and leaves the body on our lawn
and we save him a little
this all we can do
and i'd beat myself up to wonder why
and it would never make me cry

on the average case
he will walk through the door
and scream he wants more
but we can only offer less
and he tries his best to destroy us
by murdering himself

his body lies dead on our lawn
and tomorrow he'll be here again
he'll call me his friend
and then will mess with my head
and then wishing he was dead
we will scrape up our pieces
because this is all we can do
this is who he is
this is what we are
and we must accept it
