Corner of the World - Ryan Caraveo

At school, no one knows him

He doesn’t have an identity

Alone eating lunch

Minute feels like infinity

But if they see him cry, that shit would be worse than anything

So he starts fights, and hides it with masculinity

Dad is such a hard-ass, and mom is not around

It was tough when he was younger but he finally got it down

Convincing everybody he’s a comic, he’s a clown

'Cause he hides it so well that it can’t possibly be found

He’s constantly let down, but he says that he heals

He laughs and jokes about it, but it isn’t real

He just mirrors the emotions that he wish he could feel

But if no one ever noticed, it’s a victory, still

'Til the intensity builds

And he can’t sensibly deal

With never-ending emptiness

So he pretends to be filled

With a type of happiness that simply doesn’t exist

And when they notice all them cold shoulders crush him again

Then it’s

Back to the corner of the world

Where the sun don’t shine

This place is too familiar

No matter how far I go, I always fall

Back to the corner of the world

Where the sun don’t shine

This place is too familiar

No matter how far I go, I always fall

Today he considered giving up again

Walked to the freeway, thought about jumping in

'Cause lately, he been suffering

Wish he had the guts to win

Wish that he was made with some tougher skin

But it sucks to feel, so he just tucks it in

Been poppin' those again

'Cause it helps him pretend

Even though the same things overdosed his friends

At least he got the plug: twenty bucks for ten

Stupid prices for some droopy high kid

Smiling about his life as if he truly likes it

Brightens everybody’s day, but truly in a crisis

For Christ’s sakes, no one ever asks how his life is

Everyone around him think he got it all

When it’s a party, everybody wanna get involved

Then he wake up in the morning and it all dissolved

That’s when he always falls, that’s when he always falls

Back to the corner of the world

Where the sun don’t shine

This place is too familiar

No matter how far I go, I always fall

Back to the corner of the world

Where the sun don’t shine (I always fall)

This place is too familiar

No matter how far I go, I always

I always fall

I always fall
