The monsters under our beds turn to monsters in our heads The ghosts in the attic become the ghosts of past loves Pain was a broken leg that soon became a fight to the death with your mind Shots were something we got so we didnt get sick but they turned to needles littering the ground Medicine was tylonal we took when we had a cough now its pills we pop to forget life we went from cutting paper into works of art to ripping our own skin apart into a crimson mess yelling was what you did at the playground now it's what happens when when you can't stand living Bruises would come from falling off the monkeybars now they come from those you think love you shots were from soda caps and giggles that turned to sneaking out and getting wasted to forget What happend to those kids whoes eyes were full of hope What happened to those kids who wanted to grow up

Then and Now
The monsters under our beds turn to monsters in our heads The ghosts in the attic become the ghosts of past loves Pain was a broken leg that soon became a fight to the death with your mind Shots were something we got so we didnt get sick but they turned to needles littering the ground Medicine was tylonal we took when we had a cough now its pills we pop to forget life we went from cutting paper into works of art to ripping our own skin apart into a crimson mess yelling was what you did at the playground now it's what happens when when you can't stand living Bruises would come from falling off the monkeybars now they come from those you think love you shots were from soda caps and giggles that turned to sneaking out and getting wasted to forget What happend to those kids whoes eyes were full of hope What happened to those kids who wanted to grow up
I miss being so youthfull and looking forward the future
