I don't want to live in adulthood
Reaping all the years from my childhood
Riding on a mat down a staircase
Crashing into life like a new wave
Years were passing by as the time stood
Rolling in the filth used to feel good
The child in me is hanging by a thread of hope
Safer in the swing of a jumprope
Hey now,
Hurts to know that we're all unveiling our debris
Hey now, If you go let me know if
Heaven's above meI don't want to live in adulthood
I will never say "when I was your age"
I'm still a punk inside, I'll never hide the rage
As long as I move on I'll get through it
And when my body breaks, I'll say screw it.
Slashing through my heart like a fish hook
The deep cuts of my life in a songbook
It's hard to see them fade or just disappear
One day it will be me and I'll be outta here.
Hey now,
Hurts to know someday soon you may be leaving
Hey now, If you go let me know your struggle by all means but,
I don't want to grow up
How can I go on?
Life won't let me
I can't see Hanna cry
It upsets me
I share myself with you
I'm an open book
The story of my youth is my outlook
And I'll never wear a skin that I'm not used to
Growing old is hard, why do we have to?
Transitioning to some is a closed door
I won't replace a wound with an open sore
Hey now,
Hurts to know that we're all unveiling our debris
Hey now, If you go let me know if heaven's a real thing
I don't want to live in adulthood
