clementine's lament Songtext
von astrid

Follow
You on your walk to school
I want your perfect body
Wish I
Could be
Pretty

Way to go
I′m just the weird girl that creeps you out
I sit alone in the back of class
And draw your face
In my notebook
A hundred million times
I'm a freak
And you′re repulsed
That's all we'll ever be
I try to play it off
But I′m a nervous wreck
I see disgust
It slowly takes over your heart


The teacher rips you from my grasp
Shows the whole class
My sickening perversion
I can hear her friends laugh
I flee down the hall
My sobbing outpaces my two feet
Hold my breath until I′m home
There's nowhere to hide
I′m standing face to face with a lie

Way to go
I'm just the weird girl that creeps you out
I sit alone in the back of class
And draw your face
In my notebook
A hundred million times
I′m a freak
And you're repulsed
That′s all we'll ever be
I try to play it off
But I'm a nervous wreck
I see disgust
It slowly takes over your heart


Gasping through tears
Slowly temper my shaking
Tear up the fabrics I stowed deep away
Glance at the mirror beside my bed
Blade pressed to artery is all that it takes
My own reflection is just an impression of external pressure to be someone
I′m terrified
I′m not him

Baby girl
You've got such a beautiful soul
Swear to God, one day you′ll show them all
You know
You don't need her to make you whole
Hold me

Nevermore
It isn′t perfect but it's what you got
And if you make it out alive
You′ll see the burden's worth the price you paid
In time
You'll set the world on fire
