lyrics
Hello young lady my name is "the-boy-that-will-bring-you-down"
And I'm different from those other boys clinging to the strings in your gown
And I've heard a hint of possibilities from the talk around town
And I hope that you'll forgive me for cuttin' you off before you drown
Cause I'm a heavy hunk of metal though you think that I'm a crown
Yeah yeah
Let's skip formalities, realities, and all the sorts
Don't tell me what you think or a single thing that's on your heart
Cause I see your destiny- prosperity; and I-want-out
I've cut down every tree in proximity, don't you dare now come about
Cause I'm not done feeling bitter and I can't afford a sprout
No no
Ha ha uh oh
I can't tell who I am no more
And I can't tell who I was before
I've ripped down my exterior
But I'm afraid I won't be standing when my sharps hit the floor
Ha ha uh oh
If I say that I can't stay you can assume I'm telling lies
Cause I've been hoping for anything but losing hope is for the wise
I can't stop staring and obsessing best you don't come around
Of course you like me flying ten feet from the ground
