"My Giant"

A nightmare begins around the time when I'm first awake
Rolling out of bed and onto another day
A thought drops into my head
Oh you'll never be anyone anyway
You can't change so why don't you stay right here

No, no, no
I can't take another day of the constant bullying
There's no escaping the noise
The voice that's following me
When I'm with my friends they just can't see the enemy anywhere
she's right here in the back of my mind in the heart of my fear

My problem
My giant
Just won't keep quiet
She's first thing every morning
To the last thing I hear at night
But she can't be completely indestructible
I only wish I could see how to defeat
My giant

Yeah yeah my giant
Oh oh

I've tried everything
Hiding, fighting, and sneaking around
But each time she finds me flat on my back and laughs out loud
There's got to be a way to knock her down
But I've already thrown my last stone and she's not falling

My problem
My giant
Just won't keep quiet
She's first thing every morning
To the last thing I hear at night
But she can't be completely indestructible
I only wish I could see how to defeat
My giant

I just want her out of here
If I can't make her disappear
Then I'll cover my ears

My problem
My giant
Is suddenly quiet
She lost her power when I shut her out
She can't be completely indestructible
Now that I see how to defeat
My giant

Yeah yeah my giant
Oh ye-yeah
I'll stop listening
I'll stop listening yeah
No more listening no
'Cuz I'm not listening to my giant
