I don't miss what I never had, knock my teeth in with a baseball bat
I don't want to miss a thing
I don't miss what I never had, faces locked behind the photographs

Ahhhhhhhhhhh
Your jokes aren’t funny
Your stupid nose is running
Better go catch it!
Hey!!
I found out this morning
Warnings are boring
Adventures in my backyard!
chorus
Fuuuuuuuuuck
It’s waaaaaaaarm outsiiiiiiide
Don’t melt my ice creammmm
Like my priiiiiiiiide
Don’t let it fall on the ground!
Ahhhhhhhhhhh
Don’t tell me you’re crazy
My memories of you are hazy
Back in middle school!
I probably won’t see you again
But part of me still thinks of back then
Back when I was uglier
Than I am now

You looked so good from outside
From my safe place to hide
You turned into a monster!
I, I was sick of ordinary folks you see
I was sick of ordinary folks like me
I was dumb! I was young!
That day, I learned something so true
Even normal people look like you
When they’re scared! When our skin is bare!
Time seemed like a vision
People came and went like ghosts.
Walking through the walls I’d put up,
Around me, to protect me.
Whenever they come near, I just feel more alone!

Hey, did you ever think that life’s around the bend
No graduation, in the end
Hey, did you ever think you’d lose the ones you care about
You used to snore in your sleep, in your bed you used to shout,
I’m happy here
In my own bed
With all my friends,
The ones I hate, the ones that drive Mercedes Benz
The ones I love, and the ones didn’t think to find
The ones I slept with, and then I left them all behind!
Dude, I’ll never find a girl like that again
Now I’m stuck watching her go out with all my friends
Oh, will I ever not get bored with what’s around me
I don’t really think so, you see
I have mixed feelings
In case you couldn’t tell
I love my little living hell
The one I cherished, the tree that I learned how to fell
I don’t think I’m leaving just yet
Give it a year or two and I’ll bet
I won’t feel sorry
I won’t feel anything at all

Don’t prolong your agony
Bandage up your nose already
Take your rage, and put it to some use
Build up a pile of leaves
Ready to become a hurricane among the huts
And I will go
I will go
I will stand among your wreckage
I will go
I will go
Unless I stay
Get ready to move again
Say bye to your friends again
They only liked you for your jokes
So take your backpack and your songs
They’re all you’ve got when you’re spiritually broke
So I will stay
I will stay
I will stand among your wreckage
I will stay
I will stay
With you lying in the roadside
I will wish
I had done
A little more to win your trust
So I will stay
I will stay

Open up gentle sky
There’s no witnesses around tonight
Embers feel right
Wash away the year outside
I am a stone in your way
If I had legs I’d move myself away
Every time they speak
I feel like such a failure in their sight!
They’re waiting for a miracle
But thinking it’s the sunrise after night!
You must be just out of sight
But I’m tired of turning corners left and right
Let me be the first
To mean everything to you
But sometimes everything feels wrong
When I open your door
And if you call my name
Will I feel calm?

Torn asunder
Brutal waves of hope
Dissolve as soon as they
Hit the ground
I hope I made, a dent in you
I hope you paused, if only for a second glance
I am not a shade!
I am not ephemeral!
New faces abound
Disappear as I reach out to them
Laugh as I fall through
Laugh as you move just out of reach of me.
Faces strewn across my floor
Names that make no sense anymore!
I’ve been a ghost since I was five,
No one told me I had died.

What did you do to deserve these words?
How did your name become everything I heard
That day?
I haven’t looked back since the moment you said sorry to me.
I still have a lot of uncertainties about how I’m perceived.
I just wish that you’d see me the way I see you
Just as tall and just as old.
You all looked so cool, I thought that you would like me.
I thought I could fit into your jeans.
I don’t have much more to say; just I’m sick of always
Being second best.
I guess I’ll stop being so vague; I want this paranoia off my chest.
How do you want me to act? Like I don’t care at all.
What do you want from me now? Pass the bowl around!
My eyes are open wide! My legs are caught in moving tides!
