wallflower - moses campbell cover

Countless suicide attempts And all his money was spent Chewing gum and cigarettes To keep his knees from shaking He never thought before he spoke Took back everything he meant And from an early age You learned to inhale and forget And who are you? And who are we? Photographs and diaries Spend your life working hard Spend your life studying And then you die And then you die And then we read all your books And then you die And then you die And then we criticize your work You figured it out You figured me out so good I know you want it They said you would You’re getting to close And it’s all too much Afraid of The human touch Give the kids all their candy Whatever makes them happy Give me seeds and I’ll plant trees Learn from your mistakes My parents never learned from me And blasphemy on the walls Of the bathroom you wrote God is gay and no one cares Even if you left a note Your suicide will go unheard Maybe ’cos you never spoke You were a wallflower You were my only hope Your songs never left your room
