If my younger self could see what I've become
It would break his heart and he would say to me
"But someday when I grow up I'll be somebody, you'll see
And no one can take that from me"
"But someday when I grow up I'll be somebody, you'll see
And no one can take that from me"
And we always said this wouldn't be us
And we always said this shouldn't be us
And we always said this couldn't be us
And we always said this wouldn't be....
But I'm standing here now at twenty f**ing two
And everything that I believe is slipping from my grasp
My faith in my self, my faith in this world
My faith that everything would work out in the end
Don't find our faults, find us a remedy
You're two completely different pieces intersecting underneath
With such violent tribulation: a hull dividing frothing seas
Does that siren sing so sweetly, 'run your ship ashore for me
So that I may sink my teeth into their newest make-shift sheath
Yes, it's been crafted, cratered
Created in my skin, no worse place
Now I'm marked with that beastly insignia, I'm of acidic scent and taste
With wet, urgent, needy yearning the pack's outcast is easy prey
To have purged loyalty and penned new contract, oh, I have made a great mistake
[Repeat x2:]
Ye woe, Back to the house that raised me
Where I find strange constructions in what once were quiet places
Retreat now to the town of aging
But our sense of out-step-treading here is worse than we've escaped
As I lay me down to sleep
It's time to realize all my dreams
Because I may die before I wake
And I won't...
As I lay me down to sleep
It's time to realize all my dreams
Because I may die before I wake
And I won't leave here a waste
[Repeat x18:]
What is the point of saving my name in this town?
