Collapsible People - The Ninth Wave

Collapsible people

Folding under the weight of better times and broken spines

You crumble to tears, but you’re never here

A poise to appear, like you could…

Never crave attention

You have a need for false affection

You love every passer by

Self-inflicted tension

You’re full of back and forth contentions

You love every passer by

Fall, stumble on words.

'cause nothings unheard

But could you go and stand on your own?

A place in the crowd, a place to back down

Another wish to be alone, wish to be alone

Do you crave attention?

You have a need for false affection

You love every passer by

Self-inflicted tension

You’re full of back and forth contentions

You love every passer by

You seem to forget that infectious words

Are words to regret, infected and proud

A part of the crowd, wondering how, you could keep up face?

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Do you crave attention?

You have a need for false affection

You love every passer by

Self-inflicted tension

You’re full of back and forth contentions

You love every passer by

You love every passer by
