Unstable Boy Lyrics
Staring down the barrel of another holiday
Force fed a Christmas carol
Another time, another place, another way
What child is this who, who laid to rest?
Mary's love is sleeping
What child is this who, who feels so blessed?
It cannot keep from weeping
I should be tending to the horses who intend to cart my joy
From now until forever, I'm just a lowly unstable boy
I'm a failure on a journey but my strength is gathering
It's only fair that I'll make it there, yeah, I'm on my way to mattering
But all the way, on the way, I couldn't contain my fear
My lips only look rosy 'cause my skin looks so white in here
Shred up my fingers on this bottle cap that won't twist off
Aching for the syrup that could cure me of this hacking cough
Ask me how I'm feeling and I'll say I'm okay
Though my mind is wreathing, can't think of anything better to say
Is that what you get for running a yellow light?
A fistful of regret and a fix that doesn't last
I'm a super califragile piece of fucked up
All I need a spoon full of something fast
I should be tending to the horses who intend to cart my joy
From now until forever, I'm just a lowly unstable boy
I'm a failure on a journey but my strength is gathering
It's only fair that I'll make it there, yeah, I'm on my way to mattering
But all the way, on the way, I couldn't contain my fear
My lips only look rosy 'cause my skin looks so white in here
Shred up my fingers on this bottle cap that won't twist off
Aching for the syrup that could cure me of this hacking cough
Stupid fucking world of mine
You keep moving the fucking finish line
You trick me over here, you hide it over there

You start another game when you see me starting to care
Well, I don't expect you to hear me say
"I'm gonna chew my way out of your lab rat cage someday"
But all the way, on the way, I couldn't contain my fear
My lips only look rosy 'cause my skin looks so white in here
Shred up my fingers on this bottle cap that won't twist off
Aching for the syrup that could cure me of this hacking cough
