I suppose I'm "gifted" and "mature" at least that's what you tell me So much that it's engrained in my brain After all, you can't wash out every stain You say "gifted" I say trapped I just want to fall into the endless black They won't judge me there I promise I'll make my way back I want to plummet and feel the rush Without worrying about having to claw my way up You say "mature" I say scarred and insecure I can't look at her face But I see her in every place I want the ground to swallow me up But that would bring it all back Her hands on me Pushing me down No, I don't want that I would rather fall and fall and fall With no feeling at all Into the endless gray So yes I guess I am "gifted" and "mature" If that means trapped and insecure Your empty words mean nothing to me Unless they can see what's hidden underneath

"Gifted and Mature"
I suppose I'm "gifted" and "mature" at least that's what you tell me So much that it's engrained in my brain After all, you can't wash out every stain You say "gifted" I say trapped I just want to fall into the endless black They won't judge me there I promise I'll make my way back I want to plummet and feel the rush Without worrying about having to claw my way up You say "mature" I say scarred and insecure I can't look at her face But I see her in every place I want the ground to swallow me up But that would bring it all back Her hands on me Pushing me down No, I don't want that I would rather fall and fall and fall With no feeling at all Into the endless gray So yes I guess I am "gifted" and "mature" If that means trapped and insecure Your empty words mean nothing to me Unless they can see what's hidden underneath
