Starved of affection
Lacking in any direction
A reflection I’ve never recognized
Bleeding from my inner eye
Better to be between a set of thighs
Than to drop my disguise
Surrounded by half truths
And whole lies
Just trying to make it out of life alive

No one makes it out of life alive, tautologically speaking. But I, too, would prefer to be between a pair of thighs.
Not sure you'll succeed in that last point 🤔 😁
