lyrics

“she’s just a broken kid
we don’t know why she hid
herself again behind the bathroom door

we tried to calm her down
but she never lost her frown
maybe ‘cause we called her a clown”

I’m out.
There’s nothing more to sing about.
I’m out
I’ve got nothing left to care about

I’ve been struggling all my life
walking side by side
with all this grief, all this strife

been labelled and been stamped
a loon, a schizo, a tramp
now I can see, it never made sense

I’m out.
There’s nothing more to sing about.
I’m out
I’ve got nothing left to care about

go on with all your whispers
go on with all your stares
go on with your wishes, go on
go on I’ll see you there
