Skin against skin covering bone The body you're in is aggressively slim Yeah, you earned the clothes you put on it Cover up where you've been But leave those scars at home Let them slide down the length of your spine across your knees And down to your feet They slow our momentum each time You're reminded they're there You don't have to pretend to be an orphan anymore You don't have to pretend to be important anymore That brutal youth, exhumed and removed Entombed in a box cached across your room It slows our momentum Each time I'm reminded it's there Your anxious tongue spills cautious words It's gotten so used to being misunderstood You do your best to control it Remind yourself that you care You don't have to pretend to be an orphan anymore You don't have to pretend to be important anymore Hey sad savior You don't have to pretend to be an orphan anymore "Never, not ever again!" Is what you swore the last time this happened "Never, not ever again" Are you gonna settle for those bastards? "Never not ever again" "Never no never, no never" "Never not ever again" is what you swore You don't have to pretend to be an orphan anymore You don't have to pretend to be important anymore Hey sad savior You don't have to pretend to be an orphan, not an orphan anymore
