Big Boys Don’t Cry

[Verse 1]
Hello darkness, you old whore
I've come to sleep with you once more, for
I've been suppressing my real thoughts, they're quite messy
Trying to keep up this veneer so classy
It's the classic game to play
Maintain the same plastic grin each day in pain
Never bother anyone briefly passing by
Act it's alright 'til you can no longer cry

[Chorus]
Big boys don't cry

[Verse 2]
Winter months never truly went by
The stiff fetal pose, nearly out of supplies
I've been staring at the ceiling for too long
The fly on the wall now has a name, I call him John
Let me state a cliché: music saved my life
Cynical overdrive 'round this pill popper pride
Self-imposed solitude, contradicting whine
"I'm bored and wanna see someone / I'm sort of busy right now"
"Happiness is a mindset" - I'll show the fucking mindset sometime
Can you ever die of boredom? Asking for a friend of mine
Don't you worry about me, I will be alright
Honesty's everything I can offer right now

[Chorus]
Big boys don't cry
Big boys don't cry
