Lyrics

I’m the open book no one ever reads
The stupid little brother no one wants to need
I’m the forgettable friend that you once had
The boy who wanted love so, It drove him mad

I had one friend going into High school
After the first year, I was the fool
They were some nice people, but that’s all they were
A few chance meetings that became a blur
I am the one who thought he had more friends

Awoke one day found all he had was a pen
Searching for a way out of my depression
I would write to relieve all of my tension

[Break 1]
Sometimes it wouldn’t be enough
I’d sit and think until my mind would rust
Corroding away all sense of reality
I’d search for anyway I could bleed

[Bridge]
And now I know there’s something wrong with me
Like every other person here

[Break 2]
I would sit and stare at you all day but you would never look my way
I would look and laugh at your antics and you would sometimes notice mine
I found courage and I asked you out, you asked your friends and then you ran
Never again would you look my way, society’s power over man

[Break 3]
Is this how I will live
Is this how no one gives
Is this how you all only take
In my heart drive your stake

I’m the open book no one ever reads
The stupid little brother no one wants to need
I’m the forgettable friend that you once had
The boy who wanted love so, It drove him mad

Now I’ve got my band, now who is the fool
I see you stare and start regretting treating me like a mule
You thought you got the best of me but who laughs last
Just want to say thank you for kicking my ass
I am the one who thought he had more friends
Awoke one day found them and then found the pen
Found my way out of my depression
Its the music of my life out of my social repression
