This is a song about growing up and learning how to feel

"Cry Baby" Lyrics

Over and over again
Fishing it in
Break the water with my hand

Releasing the bird
Growing the plant
I eat the earth and touch the sand

Remember the bed
Remember the hands
I turn my mind and watch it spin

I loosen the cord
I pull on reel
beginning to feel

I grew up trying to hide
Just getting fucked up every night

I lost my heart, I lost my mind
I couldn’t feel pain if I tried

A little there but never here
Dreaming up ways to disappear

I learned laugh
I learned to lie

But I never learned to cry

Cry, cry baby
Cry, Cry Baby

Burning a hole in the plastic
Going elastic
Crashing headfirst through the havoc

Beautifully tragic
Dumb little faggot
Throwing fingers in the air

I thought I wasn’t supposed to ever be myself
Why both living with your life left on the shelf

I grew up trying to hide
Just getting fucked up every night

I lost my heart, I lost my mind
I couldn’t feel pain if I tried

A little there but never here
Dreaming up ways to disappear

I learned laugh
I learned to lie

But I never learned to cry

Cry, cry baby
Cry, Cry Baby

Cry, cry baby
Cry, Cry Baby
