I walk the line of the disappointed
I celebrate when I'm in pain
My heart and mind can be disjointed
And I built a bed in this hole I made

I recognize that I'm damaged
I sympathize that you are too
But I wanna breathe without feelin' so self-conscious
But it's hard when the welt's starin' at you

Another piece of the puzzle, it doesn't fit
You throw your arms up, you're so damn sick of it
What are you working for? What are you searching for?
Uit: What are you looking for

I waited for you yesterday
I waited and missed the last train
I waited to say that I'd fallen in love with your way
I waited for you yesterday
Eventually walked home in the rain
I waited to see if you felt the same for me
Uit: Asshole Father

What is it I'm after
Searching for disaster
Watching my whole life flash in front of my eyes
We've been given answers
Still we're walking cancers
Dressed up as a life
Uit: Cancer[/b]

I’ve worn a hundred faces of
The character of placements
And now nobody sees me

The changes in me
Are likely to be
Like the weather
Cloudy at best

Angels lift me
Are you with me?
I’m holding onto you
Like I’m holding on to white balloons

Carry me away
I hope that you’ll break
Uit: White Balloons

Howard's Tale
Age five, just a little boy shy
Is he ready for the big surprise?
He'll be playing Lego in a dream
When the shadows come to life

Age nine and he should've been fine
With a secret he's sure to keep
Two times had to tell a little lie
For the sake of him and me

Now it's over
I need closure

Hey, look what you did to me
When you were taking me home
Getting me stoned
Leave me alone
I waited for mum to comfort me
But when I opened my mouth
"Don't say nothing, shh"

Age twelve and it isn't going well
Now it's three years to the day
Confused, but unlike you
This feeling won't go away

Sixteen and the woman down the street
Has invited him to come inside
The first time, it didn't feel right
It'll be the last time he tries

Hey, look what you did to me
When you were taking me home
Getting me stoned
Leave me alone
I waited for mum to comfort me
But when I opened my mouth
Don't say nothing's wrong
I won't say nothing's wrong

I won't say, I won't say
I won't say, I won't say
I won't say, I won't say

Seventeen, all he's ever seen
Is living in between the lies
It's kind of funny how a mind
Can keep living in denial

Eighteen is a very strange scene
He's still playing with the past
Expelled, maybe someone could've helped
If someone had known to ask

Hey, look what you did to me
When you were taking me home
Getting me stoned
Leave me alone
I waited for mum to comfort me
But when I opened my mouth
"Don't say nothing, shh"

Nineteen and he's innocently
Parked right beside a school
He stares at a boy sitting there
And the boy stares at him too
He walks over
He needs closure
