Mean Boy

Steady as the altar

Dragged into the woods

Board by rotten board

Catch me in the aisle of what I'm walking towards

When I don't get my way

Softly love, I'm waiting

For something to run wrong

Spoiled rotten as I am

Hide me in the attic, a shadow of a man

When I don't get my way

I've got things to say

Mean boy, bite your tongue

Run away from everyone

Sticks and stones may break my bones

But these words could haunt me for forever

If and when you need someone

To open up their mouth and

Drown your ears in emptiness

I could be the water and you could be the glass

Pour me, poor you

Mean boy, bite your tongue

Run away from everyone

Sticks and stones may break my bones

But these words could haunt me for forever

You might think we're fine

Couldn't lie, goodnight

You might think I'm fine

Settle back and watch me work

Mean boy, bite your tongue

Run away from everyone

Sticks and stones may break my bones

But these words could haunt me for forever

Forever

Forever

Run away from everyone
