lyrics

I work to keep my place in line
I dream about my passport being denied
Oh, nightmares keep us bottled up inside
I let them keep me silent, not a second time

I live to say "this thing's to do,"
Hoarding tiny trappings of my youth
I'll soon conclude some adolescent truth
I'll die some summer day with barely any proof

When these loud plots and plans just can't ring true
I'll still be glad I had this goddamned youth

Sleep to keep myself from bed
Walk to stop myself from falling off the edge
Write and type to make room in my head
Drink to think of what I'd rather do instead

Peel my eyes for a place to stop
Make this scribbling someone else's job
I can't keep standing up for every thought
To blindly change my mind every time I cough

When these loud plots and plans just can't ring true
I'll still be glad I had this goddamned youth

Ryan Chapin Mach Gambier, Ohio

Bitterness is different, it's hit or miss with listeners, so I limit the risk with that symptomatic distance.
