Vic Chesnutt - Withering Lyrics

Withering Song Lyrics
Withering by Vic Chesnutt Tammy flunked a test yesterday and all she does is cry
if they kick her off the cheerleaders squad
she knows she's gonna die
she can't even go home at night because she is so afraid
that her parents might ground her
'cause she didn't make the grade
now her friends won't understand they might even laugh at her,
now she's feeling overwhelmed succumbing to the pressure
so she wrote a little note and addressed it to her mom
she said i hope this brings you peace
pray for me until i'm gone.

Lately something's wrong with jane she's always late for school
she can't take another day of her girlfriends being cruel
she's great on all the football fields ringing out all the cheers
but in the halls of school she gets tormented by her peers
as long as she's a cheerleader everything's gonna be alright
but unlike all the othergirls she's home at friday nights
just to be excepted once, was her one and only wish
but she never was at all
she sliced her lovely wrists.

Marsha was a strieght A girl on the cheerleadrs team
everyone thought she was stupid
always lost in a big dream
and they named her s**t was stinging cause of the way that she would talk
all the girls would laugh behind her back
and the boys stopped the ball to mock
and now she's feeling so bad she's refusing to speak
her parents are a bit worried
she hasn't spoken in a week
it's like she's crying out for help and it seemis she lost all hope
her parents found her a day later hanging from a knotted rope.

Nancy's got the worst of it because she's prettiest
everyone thinks she's concieded she always looks her best
she goes out with all the football guys and every one thinks she
is much too popular not to have lost her verginity.
she has no one she can turn to when she's feeling really sad
and last night on her date some guy raped her really bad
all she wanted was to be loved but she always felt so cheap
so she stole some sleeping pills ate them all and when to sleep

Stupid reasons why (reasons why...)
the all had to die (suicide...)
Stupid reasons why (resons why)
the all had to die (suicide)
stupid reasons why (reasons why)
they all had to die (suicide)
stupid reasons why (resons why)
they all had to die
suicide... suicide.... suicide... suicide....
