Don't lose control, you've got it all.
You have no reason to scream.
Try to stay calm, go write a song.
Don’t spend your whole life dreaming.
The days we spent, the nights we wasted looking for a way to
live out all the lies they promised us on the shows on television.
The words you read when you were young.
The stupid songs that you had sung.
I had friends and you had none.
Take your drugs, blame everyone.
Spent too much time talking to myself.
Ignored declining mental health.
I took the first train out this place, made my way fast to save face.
Don’t question lies, don’t use your brain.
Call all your dissenters insane.
Refuse to learn and choose to burn down everything you could gain.
The words you read when you were young.
The stupid songs that you had sung.
I had friends and you had none.
Take your drugs, blame everyone.
The days we spent
The nights we wasted
Looking for a way to
Get the fuck out of this shitty place
Do something that we want to
The words you read when you were young.
The stupid songs that you had sung.
I had friends and you had none.
Take your drugs, blame everyone.
