You were an idealistic man
I wasn't trying to ruin all your plans
God gave me hope just like He gave me conviction
Red herrings in early years that led to contradictions
They say that the body's just a thing to house the mind
But mine keeps betraying me night after night
Pain through the center of what feeds my self-perception
It'll fill you for forty years then starve you for attention
No more, please
I'm a vacant shell of what you'd allow
If you wanted me once, well, you don't want me now
I'll call you back when you're settled with kids
You can lean back, relax, tell me all about it
They say that the body's just a thing to house a life
But mine heaves and protests with the pressure of just mine
Wasted potential feels a lot like protection
From yellow walls, missed birthday calls and passed down self-rejection
No more, please
I'm a vacant shell of what you'd allow
If you wanted me once, well, you don't want me now
I'll call you back when you're settled with kids
You can lean back, relax, tell me all about it
I'm a vacant shell of what you'd allow
If you wanted me once, well, you don't want me now
I'll call you back when you're settled with kids
You can lean back, relax, tell me all about it
Lean back, relax, tell me all about it
Lean back, relax
