Bourgeoning youth,
When will it bloom?
You picked a route,
Will they approve?
Give me room to fail
I feel claustrophobia
You say that you've got the answers
But questions still remain
When it's said and done, it's unnatural
You can choke me with your hands
Assume where I began
Just don't pretend to understand
When your words say otherwise
There's a heaven for you
But no heaven for me
They say you've got to choose
To live life on your knees
Give me room to fail
I feel claustrophobia
You say that you've got the answers
But questions still remain
When it's said and done, it's unnatural
You can choke me with your hands
Assume where I began
Don't pretend to understand
When your words say otherwise
Is my affliction a burden... to you
To gain salvation...must I walk in your shoes?
