Every hear-say has its heyday
Every rumor has its birth
And it stains the sheets of those that breathe it
It reigns supreme of those that face it
Did you ever wonder, ever?
Did you ever wonder?
Pea-brain with a caustic smile
Do you ever wonder?
He said this and she said that
Small-minded ****
I heard this and I heard that
But I don't give a ****
Circulating press like their own day-job
Doesn't matter you're just breaking the girl
Draining her life away
Did you ever perceive
That perhaps these words don't register
To the one whom it's about?
Did you ever conceive
That memory's a tricky thing?
Did you ever believe
That perhaps these words don't make sense
Until you realize you're being put down
In a code
It's all in a code
Of stares and glares and cheap hellos
I know, every rumor has some truth
So let's trade minds-
You'd collapse in an instant
If you knew what I knew
You take their words at
Poisoned-face value
Didn't know amity could be so shoddy
Didn't know it was all a nasty plot
This scarlet letter was pinned by you
Fastened tight by you
By those that once meant something
But let me ask you-
What do you know?
What do you stand for?
What do you see when you look outside
When inside doesn't matter?
I'm sorry to interrupt your leisure time
But mine is soon to run out
Yet I don't hate you, only pity
I only pity you
Or maybe I'm just speaking in sadness
But when your cosmic movie runs
Count me in
I made a disappearance
But count me in
So don't lean on me
When you can't afford a ticket
Out of cardboard city
When your life is dull or when you need a voice
I've got enough in my head
Thanks to you
Thanks to you the world's gotten smaller
Thanks to you I'm weary of strangers
Thanks to you I have no will to live
But I still love you-
Guess a fool is always a fool
Cause everyone knows
That those who truly care will
Help you tear down The Wall-
Not throw bricks in your direction
