Lyrics Collapsible People - The Ninth Wave

Collapsible People

Collapsible people
Folding under the weight of better times and broken spines
You crumble to tears, but you’re never here
A poise to appear, like you could…
Never crave attention
You have a need for false affection
You love every passer by
Self-inflicted tension
You’re full of back and forth contentions
You love every passer by
Fall, stumble on words.
'cause nothings unheard
But could you go and stand on your own?
A place in the crowd, a place to back down
Another wish to be alone, wish to be alone
Do you crave attention?
You have a need for false affection
You love every passer by
Self-inflicted tension
You’re full of back and forth contentions
You love every passer by
You seem to forget that infectious words
Are words to regret, infected and proud
A part of the crowd, wondering how, you could keep up face?
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Do you crave attention?
You have a need for false affection
You love every passer by
Self-inflicted tension
You’re full of back and forth contentions
You love every passer by
You love every passer by
