lyrics

In this silence, I'm surrounded. Do they see me? Do they care?
"Wallflower." Criticize me. Ostracize me. I don't care.
In this silence, I'm surrounded. Do they see me? Do they care?
"Wallflower." Criticize me. Ostracize me. I don't care.

Yes, I'm smarter. Am I better? Future's brighter, but how could I care?
In this system, all that matters: being handsome, popular, and wealthy.
There's nothing for me but constant misery,
so just fucking leave me alone.

At home, things aren't half as bad... the loving family.
But I'm not sure I can be the boy they see in me. (...they see in me.)

Tear apart my memories of a past life's tragedy. (...they see in me.)
Powerless to save anyone in my infancy. (...they see in me.)
The weight of lives undone: I can't bear it all. (...they see in me.)
Let's pretend that it's all alright, pretend I'm not too small, (...they see in me.)
and worthless, (...they see in me.)
and powerless, (...they see in me.)
the damned teacher's pet.

Leave me alone.
Leave me alone.
I just want to be no one,
so please leave me alone.

Leave me alone.
Leave me alone.
