I'm steadfast and angry.
I'm banking on good fortune.
I'm calloused and balanced.
Lungs are breaking in between.
Don't you forget that I'm okay if you're alright.
Don't you forget that I can't even sleep at night.
Don't you forget I'm growing old just like you.
I'm growing old like you.
These chapped lips mask this
half-wit attempt to make you listen.
Although, I hope
to never cast a shadow on your skin.
Don't you forget I'm not the only one who ran.
Don't you forget that I'm trying to be my own man.
Don't you forget I'm doing right; right by you.

I saw thunder in his eyes
He said "Son, don't leave this town;
don't say goodbye; don't do this to your mother
to your mother and I"
I could break a bone
away from home.
But growing old's
the only fear I've ever really known.
You goddamn kids with your sticks and stones.

Still a child at twenty years of age and praying
every day that my mistakes are mine alone to face.
Passers by with more wisdom and faith than me.
I'll never know their stories, though.
But damn, I'd like to see.
Forcing fear
to peace of mind.
They spent too much time crying wolf
before they found it's not worth the lies.
Don't you lie.
You left me here to adhere to the problems
you found in my head.
Vices were stronger than me
so I danced with my demons instead.
But dancing is better than drowning
no matter what others have said.
I guess I'll just keep finding pieces of myself
in people I've met.
