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 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
