lyrics

My body feels heavier
Than I ever remember
feeling when I was younger
And I haven't gained a pound

Now I'm slightly older
I slouch because of the chip on my shoulder
Which in no particular order
I'll distribute amongst the crowd

It's so easy to blame the people when they're not listening
Much like yourself, you wish that they were better at pretending
The words come so naturally when you're alone in the dark in your room
And your body is a little too heavy for you to move

My head is always aching
Probably because of the constant shaking
In protest to all good things
Like the courteous gesture of a friend

And on the contrary
I never say no to a thing that will hurt me
Like loving alcohol or the company
Of someone who shouldn't be in my bed

It's so easy to blame the people when they're not listening
Much like yourself, you wish that they were better at pretending
The words come so naturally when you're alone in the dark in your room
And your head is a little too swollen for you to move

All you have to do is smile
And they will stop worrying
everything goes away

Please make sure to hold onto the handrail
When you're in the stairwell
And you can't breathe

It's so easy to blame the people when they're not listening
Much like yourself, you wish that they were better at pretending
The words come so naturally when you're alone in the dark in your room
