tell your mom that you re not coming home tonight you ve got your youth your will and you re willing to fight and no conscience could keep your heart in one piece there s passion to be found there s stress there s release so into the open air to soak it all in and live your life like the world owes you something more than what you have like a one way ticket or any free ride a brand new box to put your head inside or a neat new monument with your name etched in a home to call your own new problem free willingly withdraw from certainty and lack of sleep on the pure and peaceful path of stupidity growing gets hard waiting gets old to you i know that feeling s no fun it feels like you re out down and done too oh grow up when will you ever learn when will you learn that candle in the window is going to be the reason your whole house burns and the money it s a carrot on a string there s a horse standing over a black hole basement after losing everything but your car you know it runs like a dream and your hair and skin are so fucking clean everyone looks at you like you re an angel or something but we ll take the fake happy over knowing what s wrong and we ll give you the stuff that you need to belong and hope that s what you need by a small chance a quick and heavy dose of acceptance growing gets hard time is running out you ll die a young and exciting death and you will tell us all in your last breath i m done there s nothing to be happy about and we dance and the flowers come up through the footstep floor mat and now s your chance to seize this all you seize this all while you re smile hides what s beneath keeps the sadness a secret as we grow old and take it all with us now i know there s mistakes that go along with youth so choose to replace or take them with you and i feel so bad now that i m so old so angry so broke so unhappy tattooed and ugly growing gets hard waiting gets old to you i know that feeling s no fun it feels like you re out down and done too you ll die a young and exciting death and you will tell us all in your last breath i m done there s nothing to be happy about
