作曲 : Auer, Stringfellow | |
Isn't it nice how things resolve | |
To test your will would take the skill of crazy ants | |
You fit your mind into smaller and smaller jars | |
You find them clutching the last straw | |
As if it's worth the worse for wear and tear you look | |
But why try to understand someone that you don't even know | |
Even though he brought you up, beat you up | |
Shut you up when you cried? | |
And now you avoid parties | |
Because they remind you | |
Of someone who you used to know | |
Pretty soon you'll want to avoid yourself | |
A popular phrase from the same year | |
Would draw no tears save for the fears of looking back | |
You find you hide for weaker and weaker reasons | |
The battle you lost in the mirror | |
Earned you no thanks but wooden planks were soon withdrawn | |
And you couldn't run away even if you tried | |
And you tried and you cried 'cause you knew that laying flat | |
In your parents' car | |
And now you avoid fathers | |
Because they remind you | |
Of someone who you used to know | |
Pretty soon you want to avoid your own | |
And now you're finally on your own | |
You draw your choices from the voices you despise | |
You find you're drawn to tighter and tighter circles | |
Flashbacks, flashes forward | |
You are insane though you have gained such wide appeal | |
And all the car rides, cheap insides, laughter at the right people | |
At the right time at the right line in the right frame of mind | |
And now you avoid thinking | |
Because it reminds you of someone you used to know | |
Pretty soon you'll only think about yourself |
