Was a Facebook User
He's closing down his account
It has him in a bind
You don't hear even when he shouts
Cool friend's he cannot find
He ain't got no hope
It's sad believing that he may do
Comments loop his neck like a rope
And now damn straight he's through
Go ahead knock yourself out
Throw yourself into the fray
No matter if you whisper or shout
He don't hear a word you say
It's time to go he's had enough
He won't be there no more
You might think it's just so tough
He's sorry he's such a bore
Everyone seems so stuck up
Their ambiguity makes him so sad
You only have to take a look
Behind their smiles they are so bad
All comfy in their pretty little life
They laugh and squeeze their ass
Ignoring those who don't have a choice
They let the moment pass
So forget it he's out a here
Carry on and spout your shite
Go hide behind your invisible fear
Believing you are always right
Don't look for him he just don't care
He'd rather be by himself
False sympathy that you try to share
Settles like dust upon the shelf
He knows when he's not wanted
He's read the signals right
No one would miss him if he was dead
So he may as well be out of sight
So he's closing his profile down
And nobody will even care
Had enough of being the clown
Don't ask for reasons he won't share.
