He's bleeding in bed
A boy lies melting reverently
Giving his whole self eventually to what'll drown him in the end
He's the waves that crash and break him down
He's the wind that tosses them around
He's the voices in his head
What's wrong?
Is it lonely out there all alone?
As you float atop a blue unknown
You better join it while you can
You can't give up now
You got so close
But a part of me can't help but hope
You follow through with what you said
Got a book of rules you'll never break
But the sky's never felt more opaque
Want you to show me how you bend
I got wants, I got needs
I've got hands and a godspeed
I can't change my biology
Put my faith in biology
I've got all I could burn
Now the pressure's more than he can stand
And at 3 am he takes his chance
Sneaks his phone down to his bed
He convinced himself he heard a knock
His door stays closed but doesn't lock
And what's outside scares him to death
In the dark, a boy becomes a man
In a world he'll come to understand
Passes animals for men
Now she's telling me it's been a month
That she misses how we used to touch
I could hardly even tell
And there's something in the air tonight
But the tension's only on one side
I feel satisfied as hell
As my love's eaten away by lust
And my love's left there in the dust
Think I'm losing her as well
In the dark, a boy is playing man
I'm beginning now to understand
I'm no man, I'm something else
