Boys Will Be Boys

I'm so tired of your illusions, rules never change

And my mind is so abusive, taking on the shapes

When it comes to your love, is it unconditional?

When it comes to my love, and the thing that's fixable

And all these noises, so relentless

I need a second to breath

Cause if boys will be boys, we do the best that we can

Cover for our brothers while we suffer from our own hands

Boys will be boys, that's the way that this thing goes

Mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go

Fathers watch them go

Fathers watch them go

When mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go

I'm no longer taking lessons from those who broke before

Now that I am done confessing the words that left me sore

When you feel the restless pain

As it crawls out of your heart

And the thoughts of yesterday bring you the way you are

All these voices, the ones controlling, can't contain me

Cause if boys will be boys, and we do the best that we can

Cover for our brothers while we suffer from our own hands

Boys will be boys, that's the way that this thing goes

Mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go

Fathers watch them go

Fathers watch them go

When mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go

Tell me how it feels to win it

Has it gone according to your plan?

Do you wish that you'd forget it?

Or, or to feel less like a human?

Boys don't cry, not a man am I

Not a day goes by that I've had to lie

I was before since I closed that door

And it's all white noise that boys must be boys

Cause if boys will be boys, and we do the best that we can

Cover for our brothers while we suffer from our own hands

Boys will be boys, that's the way that this thing goes

Mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go

Fathers watch them go

Fathers watch them go

When mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go

Fathers watch them go

Fathers watch them go

When mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
