Wallflower

Countless suicide attempts And all his money was spent Chewing gum and cigarettes To keep his knees from shaking He never thought before you spoke Took back everything you meant And from an early age You learned to inhale and forget And who are you? And who are we? Photographs and diaries Spend your life working hard Spend your life studying And then you die. And then you die And then we read all your books And then you die. And then you die And then we criticize your work You figured it out You figured me out so good I know you want it They said you would You're getting to close And it's all too much Afraid of (mute strum) The human touch Give the kids all their candy Whatever makes them happy Give me seeds and I'll plant trees Learn from your mistakes My parents never learned from me And blasphemy on the walls Of the bathroom you wrote God is gay and no one cares, Even if you left a note Your suicide will go unheard Maybe 'cos you never spoke You were a wallflower You were my only hope Your songs never left your room You never showed your poetry Don't you die, don't you die Don't you dare die on me You figured it out you You figured me out so good I know you want it, They said you would We're getting too close, And it's all too much Afraid of (mute strum) The human touch Give the kids all their chrystal Oh god no Make them hate, give them pistols Fight a war but don't ask why And oh my boy you're too young to die And what do you know About where we go After all of this Spent my life wondering But still don't know Why we have to exist To be anything at all Is beautiful I guess But I still don't know if I like it You unbuttoned your dress And you gave me a kiss I'm gonna learn to forget You gotta learn to forget You figured it out You figured me out so good I know you want it They said you would You're getting too close And it's all too much Afraid of (mute strum) The human touch (repeat however much you want) end on
