[Verse 1]

Fat boy goes to the pool

Sees his reflection, doesn't know what to do

He feels little inside

And filled with pride


[Refrain]

Oh, fragile flame

When no one sees the same


[Verse 2]

Fat boy goes about his day

Trying to think of funny things to say

Like, "This is just a game I play"

And, "I like me this way"


[Refrain]

Oh, fragile flame

When no one feels the same


[Bridge]

Hush, sleep

Don't think, just eat

You're daddy's little boy

You're mama's pride and joy

You know they love ya

But not because they hold ya


[Verse 3]

And fat boy says, "Wouldn't it be nice

If I could melt myself like ice

Or outrun my skin

And just be pure wind?"


[Refrain]

Oh, fragile flame

Sometimes I feel the same
