Escaping Youth Comes in Time

Break down these walls

I’ll fall this fall

and swallow what I have to swallow

to get where I am

I don’t know what I did

But I’m here but I’m here

so something had to happen

 

There’s ******* clogging where air used to flow

through my nose and a haze where my brain used to sit

and no matter how many people and **** I fill in my room

I still feel alone and so lonely

 

I just want to ride away on a pony

I just want to ride away on a jet

I just want to ride away on a tortoise

Because no matter how far I go I can’t get away from myself
