Poster Boy - American Diary

I’ll drink a lost cause with some pills and alcohol

never looked so good on paper

I’m the narrator, I’m not writing it down

I’ll hold it in my poison and I’ll pray it doesn’t come back up

I’m not a poster boy

But I’m burning lives and crossing bridges

to be a part of this Friday night routine

and isn’t this pathetic how we lie and tell you stories for the glory

we face our lives by atalizise and by the bottle

I’ll drink a lost cause with some pills and alcohol

never looked so good on paper

I’m the narrator I’m not writing it down

I’ll hold it in my poison and pray it doesn’t come back up

I’m not a poster boy

My reputation only goes as deep as the bottom of my pocket.

and your jealous cause I love what I do and I do what I want to

and isn’t this pathetic how we lie and tell you stories for the glory

we live our lives in headlines action spotlights but behind the curtain

I never feel so prided when I know you’re around

I’ll drink a lost cause with some pills and alcohol

never looked so good on paper

I’m the narrator I’m not writing it down

I’ll hold it in my poison and pray it doesn’t come back up

I’m not a poster boy

Let me describe to you a story of a boy who swallowed pills

fascinated with sex and violence

too young to know what he figured out

that this world is full of violence insist to run him down

if he can learn to trust himself

only family and loving friends can ever hurt him

I’ll drink a lost cause with some pills and alcohol

never looked so good on paper

I’m the narrator I’m not writing it down

I’ll hold it in my poison and pray it doesn’t come back up

I’m not a poster boy

I never feel so prided when I know you’re around

for a moment I feel brilliant

like the coolest kids in town

the world is full of violence that run him down

if he learns to trust himself only family and loving friends can ever hurt him
