There's nothing to be said For the thoughts that are brewing In the cauldron of your head The star on the ceiling Next to your brother's bunk And the scars they are healing And you can stay in the shadows Dad I'm trying my best But it just don't matter to you No chance of getting through Pluck on the heart strings Breaking them one by one With each lover life brings Flowers on your grave The monster beneath your bed And look now how we behave Its the ones we hold the most Are the ones we push away And the one that got in close Is the one we'll never say And I will miss you And you can stay in the shadows Mom I'm trying my best But it just don't matter to you No chance of getting through And you can stay in the shadows Babe you're trying your best But it just don't matter to me No chance of getting through
