lyrics

You might be blind to me
But I’m not deaf to you
And while you’re thinking I’m sleeping
I’m awake as a baby bird in the cold bright dawn
Dropping my eaves innocently
Trying not to hear
And yet straining my ears

My every fear my every doubt
My every beat myself thought up about
You just confirmed
You so-called family

You think that I am not a solid stone
You think I never did my work at home
Well I’ll make you feel as sorry as I do
And twice as alone as I am all the time

Why don’t you pick on someone your own size?
I’m a little prince in a bell jar
And the chamber I’m in is bouncing your echoes into my drums
Dancing your drunk talk into my slums
And I don’t need you man I don’t need you

Well I know that words after 4 a.m.
Maybe should be forgiven, forgotten
But I’m shaking and sweating
While you two are resting your minds

You make me never want to sing again
You make me never want to see you again
But I’ll revel in the guilt you feel
And I’ll wake up the judge and the justice
Swelling in my wrathful heart

Why don’t you pick on someone your own size?
I’m a little prince in a bell jar
And the chamber I’m in is bouncing your echoes into my drums
Dancing your drunk talk into my slums
And I don’t need you man I don’t need you
