the hypertonics

Lyrics

I am defeaten
My heart is beaten

I used to live in New York City
Like a child without a home
Now I live on hope and pity
And a need to be alone

I was raised to say, "I love you"
But we lost the battle and the war
I was born in 1990
I was dead by '94

I am defeaten
My heart is beaten

And I have fallen on my own weapon
And it is broken in my skin
I have fallen on my own weapon
I could not float, I could not swim

Misread, mistreaten
My heart is beaten
