Lyrics

Fragile Flame

Fat boy goes to the pool
Sees his reflection, doesn't know what to do
He feels little inside
And filled with pride
Oh, fragile flame
No one sees the same

Fat boy goes about his day
Trying to think of funny things to say
Like, "this is just a game I play"
And, "I like me this way"
Oh, fragile flame
No one feels the same

Hush, sleep
Don't think, just guess
You're daddy's little boy
You're mama's pride and joy
You know they love you
But not because they hold you

Fat boy says, "Wouldn't it be nice
if I could melt myself like ice or
outrun my skin just to be pure wind"
Oh, fragile flame
Sometimes I feel the same
