lyrics

All our lives we’ve been told to grow up.
But no lie is more obvious than the truth.

Don’t pick me off the ground
cause I’m the one to watch.
I’ll smash the crown
of those who try to judge.
But why shall we wonder
nothing’s changed in years.
Wrong distribution of power
and this is getting worse.

My body’s strayed in this reckless place
where my soul has finally arrived.
Burdened with a wasted youth, the noose is placed around my neck.
And it’s slowly tightening on me.

It’s slowly tightening on me.

Cursed air to breathe – my lungs are caving in.
Weight on our shoulders – strength is running out.

Angry visions became my biggest nightmare.
The moments we sham being asleep
prove to be my only shelter.
