Em G C
You were an idealistic man
Em G C
I wasn't trying to ruin all your plans

Red herrings in early years that led to contradictions

Em G C
They say that the body's just a thing to house the mind

Pain through the center of what feeds my self-perception
Em G C
It'll fill you for forty years then starve you for attention
C
No more, please
♫ Chorus:
Em
I'm a vacant shell of what you'd allow
G C
If you wanted me once, well, you don't want me now

I'll call you back when you're settled with kids
G C
You can lean back, relax, tell me all about it

Em G C
They say that the body's just a thing to house a life
Em G C
But mine heaves and protests with the pressure of just mine

Em G C
From yellow walls, missed birthday calls and passed down self-rejection
C
No more, please
