lyrics

Here I am standing tall
Realizing I am nothing at all
Staring at the walls and the worn-out paint
In my new apartment, I can't afford at all

And I'm throwing rocks down the hall
The echo remedies my homesick
I'm just bones and bruises
With bug bites that oozes
I'm so far away from everything I know

Maybe if I was ten feet tall
That would solve all my problems
Don't know why that logic works for me
But it works for me
I'd be above all the people so I can finally see where I'm going

And I haven't made very many friends since I've move here
Maybe if I went out and spoke up a little more I'd have friends who live here
And I could smile hard
Just smile a little harder

But I don't feel very pretty anymore
Kind of like how my ugly smile looks in the mirror
And how my chin's a little too small
And how my face doesn't match up how I think it should

Brings me a strange comfort in a way I can't understand
Makes me feel a little more human
And I'm alright
I feel alright

Here I am standing tall
Realizing I am nothing at all
Drowning in the sounds of sirens
And smoke
And drunken conversation
