"Circumstancial Wallflower" lyrics
All my friends from highschool still hang out and I'm not sure if they remember who I am
I've been left to wonder if they really just outgrew me or if I outgrew them
But I guess since I got bigger and they stayed so small
I guess I did outgrow them after all
Friends will drift apart
I know, I've heard a thousand times so I'll take my lunch into the bathroom stall
Someone who was once so loud and bright now just blends in with the wall
I guess I'll take your picture for you now that I'm not worthy to be seen in frame
I am constantly reminded that the life I lived before has now expired with my name
And I've learned that if I ever want to find myself
I'll have to give up everybody else
I've accepted that I cannot force the people that I love to stay with me when I'm not looking well
No one will be there to hold your hand when you're walking into hell
Circumstantial wallflower
Pressed against a corner since my body thwarts my right to be consumed
Duller by the hour
Fading in the background is much better than just wasting all the room
Every time you laugh behind my back I swear I feel it deep into my core
Do you think I haven't noticed the disgust within your eyes that wasn't there before?
And I know you think that I'm no longer worthy of respect
Though I've wracked my brain as to the reason why
It's just another rule that I have simply learned I must accept
I will carry this weight with me 'til I die
There's no winning in this stupid race
So we're calling it a tie
Circumstantial wallflower
Pressed against a corner since my body thwarts my right to be consumed
Duller by the hour
Fading in the background is much better than just wasting all the room
If I went back in time
I know that stupid little kid would spit in my face
And ask me how we grew into this disgrace
But I don't have an answer
I don't have an answer
Life is ever-changing so there isn't any use getting attached, it's true
There are million upon millions of different paths that branch from all the choices made by you
So I'm guessing that somebody made some small mistake when mankind had just begun it's earthly rule
A slip that sparked something malevolent within our DNA making it part of human nature to be cruel
No one will be there to hear the song that is written by the fool
Circumstantial wallflower
Pressed against a corner since my body thwarts my right to be consumed
Duller by the hour
Fading in the background is much better than just wasting all the room
I've been left to wonder if they really just outgrew me or if I outgrew them
But I guess since I got bigger and they stayed so small
I guess I did outgrow them after all
Friends will drift apart
I know, I've heard a thousand times so I'll take my lunch into the bathroom stall
Someone who was once so loud and bright now just blends in with the wall
I guess I'll take your picture for you now that I'm not worthy to be seen in frame
I am constantly reminded that the life I lived before has now expired with my name
And I've learned that if I ever want to find myself
I'll have to give up everybody else
I've accepted that I cannot force the people that I love to stay with me when I'm not looking well
No one will be there to hold your hand when you're walking into hell
Circumstantial wallflower
Pressed against a corner since my body thwarts my right to be consumed

Fading in the background is much better than just wasting all the room
Every time you laugh behind my back I swear I feel it deep into my core
