Sapling
Your parents lied, they don't really love you
The teachers lied, they don't really like you
You're not full of potential
Sorry to burst your bubble
Your leaders lied, they're in it for the money
The preacher tried to pet you like a bunny
And as a direct result
You ran from their cult
Oh mom and dad, just listen up
I'm not that dumb, I'm just not living to my potential
Because perfection isn't any fun
Oh mom, let go of dad
He's lost interest in being a part of this routine
Routines aren't for everyone
And neither are sports or piano lessons or recitals or baby modeling
You wasted all your money on living vicariously
Your parents tried to get the most out of you
They wrung you dry and washed their hands of you
By your sweet 16th their disdain could not be contained
Oh mom and dad, just listen up
I'm not that dumb
I'm just not applying myself
Perfection's not for everyone
Oh mom, just leave dad
Out in the cold, he's a sapling left on the vine
He never matured to his potential
He never wanted to grow up
Daddy's still a sapling
Just barely ripening
Prolonged adolescence
Prolonged adolescence
Prolonged adolescence
It's an embarrassment
I know I'm not that special, you didn't burst my bubble
I know I'm not that special, you didn't burst my bubble
Oh mom & dad, just listen up
I know that I'm not living up to my potential
But perfection's not possible
Oh mom, just leave dad
Out in the cold, he's a sapling left on the vine
He never matured to his potential
He never wanted to grow up
Daddy's a sapling
An embarrassment
Wasted potential
An embarrassment
An embarrassment
Wasted potential
The teachers lied, they don't really like you
You're not full of potential
Sorry to burst your bubble
Your leaders lied, they're in it for the money
The preacher tried to pet you like a bunny
And as a direct result
You ran from their cult
Oh mom and dad, just listen up
I'm not that dumb, I'm just not living to my potential
Because perfection isn't any fun
Oh mom, let go of dad
He's lost interest in being a part of this routine
Routines aren't for everyone
And neither are sports or piano lessons or recitals or baby modeling
You wasted all your money on living vicariously
Your parents tried to get the most out of you
They wrung you dry and washed their hands of you
By your sweet 16th their disdain could not be contained
Oh mom and dad, just listen up
I'm not that dumb
I'm just not applying myself
Perfection's not for everyone
Oh mom, just leave dad
Out in the cold, he's a sapling left on the vine
He never matured to his potential
He never wanted to grow up
Daddy's still a sapling
Just barely ripening
Prolonged adolescence
Prolonged adolescence
Prolonged adolescence
It's an embarrassment
I know I'm not that special, you didn't burst my bubble
I know I'm not that special, you didn't burst my bubble
Oh mom & dad, just listen up
I know that I'm not living up to my potential
But perfection's not possible
Oh mom, just leave dad
Out in the cold, he's a sapling left on the vine
He never matured to his potential
He never wanted to grow up
Daddy's a sapling
An embarrassment
Wasted potential
An embarrassment
An embarrassment
Wasted potential
