Strap your heart to your sleeve
Like a ticking bomb
You've been pressed to leave
But instead you stay
Gather your gear, it's time to bereave

Leave your things on the floor
Just get up and go
Hesitation's for the weak
Arrive at the horror show
When you realize nothing's for keeps
You legs have a mind of their own
Wolves cry like sheep
And on your sleeve your hearts still sewn

Can't comprehend the process of thought
Things flutter in and out but nothing's right
**** is thrown away before it's ever bought
You're ears aren't as prone as your sense of sight
So just take a second to think it through
Even if, in the end, it's not worth it
Everyone's taller but you never grew
So you accept your fate as it is
You never try to fight

You won't ever win with your mentality
You're so fickle with all your anxieties
You'll never learn, no nothing is registered
Because you're so numb and you float like a feather
I was there, yes I was waiting
To catch you when you left, you were falling
But no one accepts the help
Of the poor boy with no sense of self
