Calm me down, I’m not messing around
I was on my way out, this place still belongs to me We’re still young and it’s not hard to have fun
But the kids that remain are finding it hard to stay
But we’ll fit in and be the cool kids with thick skin
We’ll make it home once again, I’m putting my head to rest
I’m so dumb, I’m saying my song’s been sung
Should I give in to everything I’m worth?
Close your mouth, your eyes will swallow
Close your mouth, your eyes will swallow
So what on paper we lose our innocence
Try to forget that, try to forget that
You weren’t the one I could’ve waited for
I’m finding out now, I’m finding out now
You chose, you don’t care
You chose, you don’t care
You chose, you don’t care
You chose, you don’t care
Calm me down or write your last failure song
Watch me erase everyone, this failure’s a fantasy
Here’s one for my son who couldn’t love anyone
Yeah he’s so fucked up and numb, we’re losing control you see
I’m so sorry, I’m so fucking sorry
Should I give in? Decisions still haunting me We’ll stay young or we’ll stay fucked up and numb
I don’t feel better but I’m not getting worse
Close your mouth, your eyes will swallow
Close your mouth, your eyes will swallow
So what on paper we lose our innocence
Try to forget that, try to forget that
You weren’t the one I could’ve waited for
I’m finding out now, I’m finding out now
(Stop taking me down to your level
You’ve got me praying now, I’ll find a safer god
Stop taking me down to your level
You’ve got me praying now, I’ll find a safer god)
