Wonder Boy

Pretty face
Even prettier brain
But it's cold inside your eyes
You cover it
With your gorgeous smile
But your headaches
Never lie

Always praised by all your friends
But your blessing it's a curse
Stuck in memories you can't forget
Of growing up with no one there

Your mom would only read to you in bed
So now you read to escape yourself

When you're born a wonder boy
How much it takes to ask for help?
When you've got all of the answers
But not any for yourself
Does it help to memorize
All those facts about your friends?
When they all leave in the end
Does it matter what you shared?

Bullying left you long lasting scars
So you drown your pain in drugs
Now you're stuck in a vicious cycle
Does your grief have a way out of?

Your mom would only read to you in bed
So now you read to escape yourself

When you're born a wonder boy
How much it takes to ask for help?
When you've got all of the answers
But not any for yourself
Does it help to memorize
All those facts about your friends?
When they all leave in the end
Does it matter what you shared?
When you're born a wonder boy
You can always teach and learn
But you won't find the answer
To the question that you have

Is there
Happiness
For those scared
Of their own head?

When you're born a wonder boy
How much it takes to ask for help?
When you've got all of the answers
But not any for yourself
