We are going outside
And I wanted to wear my flannel
But they objected, they told me
I needed to feel the pain
But I wanted to wear my flannel
I wanted to wear it so much
That if I wear it, I won't be able to take it off
I really want to wear my flannel
To hide those scars and wounds
To protect myself from agony
Have to defend myself constantly
And so I wore my flannel
But everything just got worse
I tried to protect, to defend
The thing is, the flannel ripped off
Thought that flannel would help
Instead, it made things worse for me
