I WANTED TO BE A KID

I WANTED TO BE A KID

IW ATNED TO BE A KID

I WANTED TO BE A JKID

I WANTED TO BE A KID

I WANTED TO BE A KID

I WANTED TO BE A KID

NO ONE EVER LET ME BE A KID

I WANTED TO BE A KID

I WANTED TO BE A STUPID KID WHO DIDN'T KNOW WHEN THEY HAD TO LIE

FOR THE SAFETY OF HER FAMILY

I WANTED TO BE A KID WHO DIDN'T KNOW THE PAINS OF THE REAL WORLD

I WANTED TO BE A KID

I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO KNOW ALL THESE SURVIVAL INSTINCTS

WHEN I SHOULD'VE BEEN PLAYING IN MY BACKYARD

WHEN I SHOULD'VE BEEN STUPID

AND WHEN I SHOULD'VE BEEN IN IGNORANT BLISS

BUT I NEVER GOT TO BE A KID

I WANTED TO BE A KID

I WANTED TO BE ALLOWED TO BE A KID

INSTEAD OF IN

CONSTANT

AGONIZING

FEAR

I WANTED TO BE A KID

I never had the chance to be a kid

You're mature for your age.

I didn't want to be mature for my age.
I wanted to be a kid.

under the stars the earth will break
and the reflections in the ocean will shatter

underneath our heaven, sins we will make
and so we'll never climb that moral latter

after some time the night will start to gray
and our summers will fade away

after some time the night will turn to gray
and my heart will begin to break

the night starts to gray
and the summer fades away

the night turns to gray
and my heart begins to break

empty and stained

ever since you left my heart has felt empty
but somehow the nothingness weighs me down

it weighs me down to my bed and I can't get up in the morning
it weighs me down in my sleep when it corrupts my dreams

you didn't take anything
you just stained it

my heart isn't gone, it's just stained with your touch
it misses you every second
my music isn't gone, it's just stained with your absence,
it all reminds me of you.

my heart feels empty
yet I am so weighed down

when we text and call,
every single time I think that something has changed.
I feel full and free of stains

but the conversation inevitably ends,
and I realize
that I'm nothing more than a hobby

downhill.

I'm
falling
downhill.
honey, please,
help me breathe.

Pour on the gasoline
and touch a match to my skin

I love the way it burns.
