Poster Boy Lyrics by Ethan O’Brien

Ethan O’Brien

2023

[Verse 1]
Once upon a time, the boy had a happy life
He got good grades in school, everything seemed alright
The boy was so smart, was a straight-A student
But his grades have been slipping, he's not as fluent
It all started with his thoughts, some doubt in his mind
Something that he couldn't shake off, no matter how hard he tried
It grew into a monster, that consumed him whole
Until he didn't recognize himself, and lost control

[Pre-Chorus]
People avoided him cause they didn't know what to say
His issues made them uncomfortable so they couldn't stay
He thinks hе's lost his friends, but they're all still thеre
They're all trying to help him, but he's too scared

[Chorus]
Posters, posters, They gon’ put up posters
Of my name and face, Cause i'm heading to a better place
Posters, posters, They gon’ put up posters
Posting that i’m missing you, I'm sorry i was hurting you
Posters, posters, They gon’ put up posters
Of my name and face, I've headed to a better place
Cause i'm the poster boy
Yeah im a poster boy

[Verse 2]
The rumours spread like wildfire, he can't escape
It's like he's living in a nightmare, it's hard to take
Spread around he struggled to communicate, and words come out wrong
He tried to fix things, but the damage was already done
He packed his bags, and he hit the road
Running away from all his thoughts and the overload
He didn't know where he was going, or what he would find
But he knew he needed to escape, to clear his troubled mind
He wandered the streets, feeling lost and all alone
All his thoughts and issues, he couldn't postpone
He thought about his life, and everywhere he went wrong
And he couldn't go back, his thoughts were too strong
He's trapped inside his head, he just needs some help
He thinks he's lost it all, but he's just lost himself
He's scared to reach out, but he needs to be seen
So he needs to know, he's not alone, he's not just a dream

[Pre-Chorus 2]
People avoided him cause they didn't know what to say
His issues made them uncomfortable so they couldn't stay
He thinks he's lost his friends, but they're all still there
They're all trying to help him, but he's too scared

[Chorus]
Posters, posters, They gon’ put up posters
Of my name and face, Cause i'm heading to a better place
Posters, posters, They gon’ put up posters
Posting that i’m missing you, I'm sorry i was hurting you
Posters, posters, They gon’ put up posters
Of my name and face, I've headed to a better place
Cause i'm the poster boy
Yeah im a poster boy

[Bridge]
His issues made all uncomfortable, he know its true
They didn't know how to act, what to say, or what to do
Made him feel more sorry, thinking they hate him, he deserves to be alone
So he thought it was best to leave, to find a place of his own

[Chorus]
Posters, posters, They gon’ put up posters
Of my name and face, Cause i'm heading to a better place
Posters, posters, They gon’ put up posters
Posting that i’m missing you, I'm sorry i was hurting you
Posters, posters, They gon’ put up posters
Of my name and face, I've headed to a better place
Cause i'm the poster boy
Yeah im a poster boy
