Poster Child

Home. God, not again
You gotta try hard to not lose all your friends
Your phone shakes, beside your bed
Reminding you that maybe you aren’t dead
And oh, go slow
There’s not too many days to go
I know you’re feeling old
We never see this side of you
Here’s hoping that we never do
Don’t you want to be the poster child for me?
Cause I can’t be all the things these people want from me
I think your face conveys just what we need
A simple pose so we can know exactly what it means
Cold. When will it end?
Another drink or two helps you pretend
Your mind shakes. So you bang your head.
Shut it down. Put up. Put out. The end.
And oh, go slow
There’s not too many days to go
I know you’re feeling old
We never see this side of you
Here’s hoping that we never do
Don’t you want to be the poster child for me?
Cause I can’t be all the things these people want from me
I think your face conveys just what we need
A simple pose so we can know exactly what it means
And if this world ever tries
I will prepare
To bring that change for love and life
Into my care
Don’t you want to be the poster child for me?
Cause I can’t be all the things these people want from me
I think your face conveys just what we need
A simple pose so we can know exactly what it means
