Spoonful of Sugar
Enveloping
Consuming me
Overwhelming to say the least
Won't you hold me?!
Won't you hold me closer, please?!
Growing older, such a farce
Peripheral maturity
Melts away by the time you're on your knees
The harder we become
The more devastating a single crack can be
Enveloping
Consuming me
Overwhelming
To say the least
Won't you hold me?!
Won't you hold me closer, please?!
I'm still a little boy inside
Hiding from the boogeyman
In the dark corners of my mind
But it's so hard to hide
From me
Enveloping
Consuming me
Overwhelming
To say the least
Won't you hold me?!
Won't you hold me closer, please?!
When everything falls away! Falls away, yeah!
It never really died to me, died to me!
How do we go about forgiving ourselves?!
When all seems to be dead inside
And we're the only ones to blame?!
So, how do we go about it?! How do we?! How do we?!
Sing for today, and hope for tomorrow
Run from the thought that always seems to swallow
You…
