Teen sits in his room reflecting on the walls and tables Sometimes this place is a cafe and is a little bit unstable Crosses his legs, forgets the dread, self-hood brings him back from the troubles inside his head Take his hand, lead him out the door, stoke his fire a little bit more
Adolescence, Adolescence be free Sweet adolescent boy, come back to me
Rests his head upon the floor, even the most grotesque things won't bug him anymore Young man doesn't watch them dance, he knows he must grow his own steps before they slip through his fingertips
Adolescence, Adolescence be free Sweet adolescent boy, come back to me
Young man, be your own man You're halfway there, so don't disappear again The cafe is crowded, yet you're not alone, not stuck in one place like a drone You move across the room, bright and tall, and never again going to fall Like you did the day before your soul returned to just being a kid
