Bought Right In

Hanging on a sidewalk close to the edge
Wondering who would miss me if I was dead
Cause nobody told me about mental health
So I found a couple ways to deal with it myself

And we bought right in
We were desperate children

Because imaginary friends
Were still better than not having any friends
Faith and ancient texts
Were a decent substitute for confidence

Cause when the house of cards comes crashing down
No one's gonna teach you how to stand on solid ground
They'll just laugh and ask
"What took so long?"
While the rest assume
You're just another prodigal one

And we bought right in
We were desperate children
And we bought right in
We were desperate children

Because loneliness is a gateway drug
To bad politics and bad assumptions
What else are we supposed to do
When we can't find anything to hold on to?

But we grew up
We learned how to love
We learned so much
And we're never giving up

And we bought right in
We bought right in
We bought right in
We were desperate children
And we bought right in
We bought right in
We bought right in
We were desperate children
