Don'T Follow Me
Picture features stretched and strained
Hearing unfamiliar names
Knowing if I let them in
That I’ll be taking all the blame
Oh, your pain it scares me so
Weird connections but I know
That I’ll never want to show
How we face a common foe
Falling faster sweeter still
Sitting on your window sill
Razors hidden in the frame
Some where I know more remain
Oh my sweethearts, oh my friends
Can’t you see the cold in me?
Remember the fun never ends
You have but to turn the key
Don’t follow me or you might fall
Don’t follow, I run into walls!
A knife tucked in your pillow case
A smile plastered on your face
Exactos slipped in every book
Sharp bits hid in every nook!
Orange and purple, blue and green
Colors deeper than they seem
But I know every one can see
Red is under every thing!
Long and loose, my cut-off sleeves
Sweaters under bright green leaves
With all this darkness pouring in
I hope no one asks me to swim.
Oh my sweethearts, oh my friends
Can’t you see the cold in me?
Remember the fun never ends
You have but to turn the key
Don’t follow me or you might fall
Don’t follow, I run into walls!
Friends gather from near and far
Bumming rides and stealing cars
A little love shouldn’t be this hard
But talking won’t rub away my scars
And though I feel it’s hopeless
And though I feel the heat seep in
I try so hard to quit this
But I never seem to win
Girls you know I love you so
But when my hands begin to glow
I just need to fade it out
Pain is what it’s all about
Don’t follow me or you will see
Steak knives hidden in the trees
Razors stashed through-out the halls
Remember I run into walls!
Remember I run into walls!
Remember I run into walls!
(whisper)Remember I run into walls…
And where ever I’m wont to tread
I’m always hanging by a thread
Cradling my spinning head
From all the things I haven’t said
I know I’ll never have it all
Answering a distant call
Stop following to see me fall
DON’T FOLLOW! I RUN INTO WALLS!
