To Him, Who Grew Up

Any hint of change makes me forget that we were waiting

You've got hollow little holes where your life should be

On the brink of hate makes me suspect that you're an idol

You've got sorry little holes where your eyes should be

It's better for all concerned that you should shut me out

I can't possess this hurt

This love I can't control

You never really knew me

But you pick up on the vanity and all

The monotony that encompassed and engulfs me

Your shallow hesitation leaves my skin appealing

Leaves my blood

Screaming

Like an injured animal

And driven never to change

But at least we're grasping onto something

Or did we fall?

Blissfully unaware until that one word makes

Me thaw and that's where you stop and I've been

Please parade me

In front of these hypocrites

I can hurt anyone I want

I can touch who I please

But I feel

Much lighter with you around

Don't walk away

You never really knew me

I don't know why I say things once you're gone

I couldn't say it to your face

I'd rather be the eggshell

I feel like being crushed and brushed away

I feel so empty

I wouldn't care if I was dead and driven to change

But really we just stay the same

I can't do this

I can't do this

Anymore

We're just animals

Acting like the demons got away

Oh changes

You grew up

I feel the same

Way
