Jawbreaker - For Esme lyrics

Seems the competition

Is sweet like a slap in the face

This is a 3-legged race

It was your meanness

That told us you might have faith

Your spine (?) keeps getting in the way

You're a fool to think they care what you think

In this poem some rise, some sink

And which one are you

You budding star, you

Too dark for shopping malls

No hooks, no leads at all

Forget your _____

Dare to be naked and real

You think they care for how you feel?

Never trust an artist

Who tells you he has a choice

You can't run faster than your voice

Sing your life despite the spite it may bring

It's your life to write, so sing

Just bring the drama

Shameless and crawling

Over glass and underground

Esmé needs her story now

So don't break down
