DEATH OF ADOLESCENCE
THEY SAY GAMES ARE LIKE LIFE
& LIFE'S JUST LIKE A GAME
WELL I WANT TO GIVE UP
I'M SO TIRED OF OF PLAYIN
'CAUSE YOU GET INVOLVED WITH BOTH
BUT IN THE END THERE'S ALWAYS PAIN
& YOU SACRIFICED SO MUCH
THAT YOU'LL NEVER BE THE SAME,
THEN WHEN YOU WERE LITTLE
& BELIEVED IN SANTA CLAUS
LIKE BEFORE YOU FOUND OUT
THE TOOTHFAIRY WAS FALSE
EVERYONE'S TAUGHT THAT GOD IS THE BOSS
NOW EVERYON'S LOOKING DUMB
AT THE DESTRUCTION THAT WAS CAUSED,
BY EVERY BREATH THAT'S TAKEN
THAT'S SAID TO BE THE LAST
& EVERY NEXT STEP THAT'S MADE
TO LEAVE YOU
NOONE LOOKS TO TOMORROW
'CAUSE THEY'RE DREAMING OF THE PAST
WITH NOONE REALIZING
THAT WE'RE LIVING IN THE LAST,
MOMENTS LEFT IN TIME
THAT WE'LL SOON HAVE TO FACE
THE SANDS OF THE HOUR GLASS
CAN NEVER BE REPLACED
SO WHY FOLLOW THE FAIRYTALE END
THAT WE WERE TOLD TO CHASE
WHEN THE STORY OF OUR LIVES
ARE HERE FOR US TO EMBRACE.
