I Grew Up (In a Big, Big House) - Human Petting Zoo

Shock! I've never seen you look like this without a reason Another promise fallen through, another season passes by you Shout! I never took the smile away from anybody's face And that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child In a big country dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive, here we go I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered You can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert But I can live and breathe And see the sun in wintertime In a big country dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive In a big country dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive (Bruce) So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered See ya, let's go I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert But I can live and breathe And see the sun in wintertime In a big country dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive, cut it Huh, huh In a big country dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive In a big country dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive Shout!

I can't stand being alone for just a little while Just a couple hours and I will hate myself Anxiety has led me to believe the ones I love will leave They're never coming back to me, and I will die alone I don't have to sacrifice my happiness for anybody And I don't have to try and make sure I make everybody happy Here's to all the times I cried and cried and cried Over something that I couldn't control The little things that get under my skin I cannot let them in, I cannot let them tell me that I'm not good enough When I think that way I start to feel like there's no hope for me I start to feel the gravity pulling me to hell I don't have to sacrifice my happiness for anybody And I don't have to try and make sure I make everybody happy Here's to all the times I cried and cried and cried Over something that I couldn't control So here's to all the times I cried and cried and cried Over something that I couldn't control

I'm either to quiet or too fucking loud, I'm either alive Or I'm six feet underground, with the beetles and the snakes I'm probably just overreacting, I'm probably just overreacting Or I'm probably just on the rag I saw a man picking clover in front of my doctors office I thought it was like winning the lottery Or that maybe his wife had liked clover when she was alive And I started to cry, I started to cry I'm either to quiet or too fucking loud, I'm either alive Or I'm six feet underground, with the beetles and the snakes I'm probably just overreacting, I'm probably just overreacting Or I'm probably just on the rag I saw a girl walking on the sidewalk with her boyfriend When I was in the car He grabbed her arm so hard, and pulled her along And I wanted to run him over and make him die And I start to cry, I started to cry Boys don't cry, boys don't cry, girls are weak and boys don't cry Boys don't cry, boys don't cry, girls are weak and boys don't cry Boys don't cry, boys don't cry, girls are weak and boys don't cry Boys don't cry, boys don't cry, and girls are weak, and boys don't cry I'm either too quiet or too fucking loud, I'm either alive Or I'm six feet underground I'm either to quiet or too fucking loud, I'm either alive Or I'm six feet underground, with the beetles and the snakes I'm probably just overreacting, I'm probably just overreacting Or I'm probably just on the rag I'm either too quiet or too fucking loud, I'm either alive Or I'm six feet underground, with the beetles and the snakes

I can tell you that i'm sorry, but its all I ever say And I can pretend that I'm okay, I've been doing it all day And I'm running out of words, or running out of patience I'm wishing I'd forget all of the times I've hesitated I've come out of the closet at least three separate times And everyday there's something new I realize About myself, and thats okay I'd rather be myself than be any other way I'm trying harder than ever to do what I want when I can And I'm being a lot more honest with my friends I'm done pretending, I'm done forgetting Every thing that's happened matters I'm taking matters into my own hands I'll tell you how I feel and I'll mean it I'll cry in the target parking lot I'll tell you I love you, I'll say it real loud So everyone around us knows I'll tell you how I feel and I'll mean it

You're the worst person I've ever met And that's saying a lot cause I've met a lot of people And I haven't seen you in a couple of years But when I do, I'm gonna run you over with my car Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me, listen to me Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me, listen to me I lived in your house for less than a year But every single day, I lived in fear And I thought you were gonna kill my mom And it turns out, I wasn't completely wrong Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me, listen to me Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me, listen to me Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me, listen to me Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me, listen to me

I used to think I was an alien brought to earth by a UFO Because I didn't feel like the other kids I didn't look like the other kids, buggy-eyed White blonde hair, gap between my teeth Tears running down my cheeks I wasn't meant to be here I wasn't meant to be here But I am And I'll always do the best I can I didn't look like the other kids I didn't think like the other kids I didn't dress like the other kids I didn't feel like the other kids

I walk down to the lake to try and clear my head And I'm trying to remember what the wiki page said I'm trying to remember Captain Brady's secrets A family full of captains, also full of bloodshed They tied him to a stake, made it into an event They hated Samuel Brady and he probably deserved it I look across the water at the trees and close my eyes Captain Brady used to hide here in the water with a smile That man was a bastard, he was under for a while I know his treasures somewhere, and my heart starts to go wild I remember how you hold me, how you've been here all along Will you help me find his treasure even if it takes too long I'll love you forever even if we never find it We'll make our own treasure, find a place to bury it I'll love you forever even if we never find it We'll make our own treasure, find a place to bury it I'll love you forever, don't forget it I'll love you forever, don't forget it I'll love you forever, don't forget it I'll love you forever don't forget it, you calm me down
