When I was a kid The Edge of the bed kid Them frantic after what they did Stuck every line to the inside of my head To make it seem like it was inevitable Lets watch cartoons, forget it all You say you're my friend, but this is also My fault How I know It was wrong Didn't know before But I know now it was wrong They never know They say they don't know what they're doing Maybe they do I think they do Sometimes it's too much to explain To the person who's sticking to their story Defensive Never own the content Absorb the verdict isn't the same as change Calling your non engagement with what you created virtue I can only shake my head at every word Can't get in a word You're thinking that you calculate things you've already heard So do it then Turning time not spent on your own accountability Acting like your choices benefit me Magnanimous one, invisible crown Allowed to subtly blame Subtly threaten Telling me things about others you'd give a lesson What a disappointment My life is no different than before I met you I don't think you're allowed to know that You're only special to you When you act like them He says "you're allowed to be wrong about me" Okay then, enjoy that Alone I'm finally grown up when I learn Sometimes, I am the consequence You can be dressed in patience and generosity But I'm not your audience anymore I'm not coming to your show I'm not getting on stage to perform for you I'm not collecting your rage that you take back I'm not hearing your words as a script I must have And you're so vain and unwell, you'd reflect on this yourself and say Yea, I love that I relate So relate alone, it is your show after all You and your audience of you Starting as the polished victim I listen, help where I can Patience, generous and blessing my blame You'll call yourself sick in the head The same time, you get to be right Face it, you're a little child with dread You read any challenge to your self story As aggression to be met with Threatening figures you invent behind it I don't negotiate with that Not anymore Every word, every stuck dart in the wall Your words are sweet and then they're cold And you're proud of it Then you act like you've fallen apart Its all for you, every dream, every nightmare Every survivor story Every inch of glory, regret in pain Its yours The audience is clapping Your audience you hear But I'm not there so They say "you're allowed to be wrong about me" Okay then, enjoy that Alone I'm finally grown up when I learn Sometimes, I am the consequence You can be dressed in patience and generosity But I'm not your audience anymore I'm not coming to your show I'm not getting on stage to perform for you I'm not collecting your rage that you take back I'm not hearing your words as a script I must have And you're so vain and unwell, you'd reflect on this yourself and say Yea, I love that I relate So relate alone, it is your show after all You and your audience of you The wounded artist The one that suffers The one who's wise and so ahead The bleeding heart for what you did Thinking I'll climb down again They say sometimes you made your bed Now sleep in it But this time I am the consequence So you don't even get that Your tear jerking ballad The echoe of you Cycling fury and self pity But not taking any responsibility The Edge of the bed kid doesn't set types like you free anymore I am the consequence You know that I comfort the ones who can hurt me most I've been trained for that job And you see that so See it alone They say "you're allowed to be wrong about me" Okay then, enjoy that Alone I'm finally grown up when I learn Sometimes, I am the consequence You can be dressed in patience and generosity But I'm not your audience anymore I'm not coming to your show I'm not getting on stage to perform for you I'm not collecting your rage that you take back I'm not hearing your words as a script I must have And you're so vain and unwell, you'd reflect on this yourself and say Yea, I love that I relate So relate alone, it is your show after all You and your audience of you You and your audience of you Yea it's just you and your audience of you You'll grow from this and face your consequence Or you'll find some new kid to do the same thing with
