Face is scraped and skin altered

Life's still life with apple core

Suddenly spinning back away

Back away from me once more

Tetherball string frays and snaps

Locket's got a rusted clasp

Picture of me, 12 years old

Grinning grimly dumbly chap

Cuz I feel very very stupid for being here

I feel very very stupid for having come here

I feel very very stupid for being here

I feel very very stupid for having come here

Shut the mouth that says "Nice day"

Ink closed the opening in the A

Rip the carpet from the floorboards

All choice destroyed so why not stay?

Tie the tetherball's old string

This locket is a funny thing

Jiggle it in just the right way

Twelve year old still dumbly grins

I feel very very stupid for being here

I feel very very stupid for having come here

I feel very very stupid for being here

I feel very very stupid for having come here
