My Dear Wormwood

This is where I am

This is who I am

Some will say conditioned

Some will say na'e

This is where I am

This is who I am

Some will soon fall victim

To the things that used to relieve

Their minds of aching pressure

Their bones of tension wrought

We've entered into pitfalls

Knowing full well that we would be caught

But it seems so easy here

To forget that we're not on our own

But we cant escape this

These people we follow

These laws they create and condone

I'll do what you did before me

I'll follow close your lead

I'll make excuses for you

And stumble till I bleed

My knees rubbed raw from crawling

And begging for a chance

To live a life unlike yours

This is where I am

This is who I am

They will scream conditioned

And you will feel na'e

Its hard to take this and stand my ground

But its needed now and its not just for my sake

Why am I so shaky?

How are you so strong?

Stranger things have happened

We all have nightmares

But some follow us into day

With all the lights out

And all the doors locked

We'll see how tough I am

With all the lights out

And all the doors locked

I only have faith in his name

I'll do what you did before me

I'll follow close your lead

I'll make excuses for you

And stumble till I bleed

My knees rubbed raw from crawling

And begging for a chance

To live a life unlike yours

One full of pure romance

This is way too much for you to tackle now

Come back after lunch relaxed and full

With a fresh mind

Who knows what odd ideas

Could come to you

When you've shut up all alone in there

Alone in there with all your books

Step outside

And get a healthy dose

Get a healthy dose of what I call real life

You can follow me down

Follow me down

You can follow me down now

You can follow me down

Follow me down

You can follow me down

Follow me down now

You can follow me down

Follow me down

You can follow me down

Follow me down now

And the newsboy screams midday now

And the 73 drives by you

And the 73 drives by you

And the

News

Boy

Screams

Midday

The 73 drives by you

And the 73 drives by you

This is where I am

This is who I am

This is where I am

This is who I am

I'll do what you did before me

I'll follow close your lead

I'll make excuses for you

And stumble till I bleed

My knees rubbed raw from crawling

And begging for a chance

To live a life unlike yours
