Porcelain Lyrics - Archetype - Tonedeff

[Chorus] 

Days pass and time goes on and on, 

But, you might think my skin was strong enough 

But, there's something you don't understand 

I'm porcelain. I'm porcelain. 

[Bridge] 

Knowing if I could give you the sky and also the sea 

But I don't think there's one thing in this world 

that'll make you notice me 

Cause you can wield that sword in any direction, you damn well please 

But you don't understand, that my heart is in your hands 

And I'm beggin' you not to squeeze. 

[Verse 1] 

I was ruined in the 7th grade, the pain never changed or went away 

The memory's ingrained like it was yesterday 

They're telling me I'm crazed, because I've blessed her name 

A steady gaze to sweat her frame, 

If life is just a play, then she was center stage 

I sent her letter pages on a daily basis 

That her friend's trashed in waste bins 

So, if she asks there's just no way to trace this 

She was reigning queen of junior high and I was faceless 

Painted bangs and bracelets, and even looked graceful in plated braces 

I hate to say this but my aim was wasted 

So, I trained my heart for seven years while she remained in basics 

Leading the same parade of babes to places 

Swearing I held a space in her heart 

Yet every semester she'd vainly replace it 

Yet, I waited and displayed my patience 

Even offered statements of positive advice 

in her cases of shaky situations 

But she never associated me with hip relations 

With bated breath, I just withstood the breakage. 

Like porcelain. 

[Chorus] 

Days pass and time goes on and on, 

But, you might think my skin was strong enough 

But, there's something you don't understand 

I'm porcelain. I'm porcelain. 

[Verse 2] 

With my hormones racing, praying a for a date on summer vacation 

Around the time when your body is under renovation 

You know when nothing really fits? 

And the girls get bolder, and start looking for older affiliates 

I hold a silly wish in my mind that she'd willingly kiss these 

lips, but I won't get Frisky, I get the feeling she'd diss me 

I'm still in a risky position - itching to hit a decision 

To muster up the ambition to make the proposition 

Desperation became my religion 

The same way you envision cynics finding Jesus caged in a prison 

Visiting hours consisted of English Lit & Diction 

History quizzes on Christians to Mr. Richard Nixon 

Transfixed in her smile like the other fifty guys 

She hypnotized, Guess I'm another stickler for pretty eyes 

I minimized my obsession, never made the confession 

Even evaded her presence at our graduation procession 

It was a decision I later regretted 

Wondering what I could have sai 

and would it have swept her away if I said it 

Step and Repeat and edit - my thoughts clashed 

But I regained my lost chance the very day that we crossed paths again 

I reveled in the opportunity, asked her to go dancing 

Basking in this confidence that was new to me 

It worked beautifully! A wild night became a quiet ride home 

As I broke the silence her eyes roamed 

Seven years of frustration then hit her ears with abrasion 

As I laced her with my tale of lust, tears and anticipation 

Her reaction was a face of fakeness 

Told me she was flattered, but within a tone lacking any amazement 

It seemed she'd heard it all before 

I realized then, her popularity is what I wanted her for 

I tried to be strong as she hopped out the door 

But even the hardest hearts break when they're dropped to the floor 

Like Porcelain. 

[Chorus] (2x) 

Days pass and time goes on and on, 

But, you might think my skin was strong enough 

But, there's something you don't understand 

I'm porcelain. I'm porcelain. 

[Coda] 

Cuz in the end 

Days Pass and (just little boys with scarred hearts 

from girls who think they older than they really are) 

Time Goes on and on (just little boys with scarred hearts 

from girls who think they older than they really are) 

You might think my skin (just little girls with scarred hearts 

from boys who think they older than they really are) 

was strong enough 

but there's something you don't understand 

(just little Kids with scarred hearts from other little kids) 

I'm porcelain 

I'm porcelain
