Prophecy
You ran so fast
To get right where you are
You look around and wonder why
You ran so fucking fast
All the friends you took for granted
Childhood memories all brushed away
Just for the sake of expectation
I won't live my life that way
Peer pressure is just a prophecy
We are doomed to live out
I won't waste time on intimidation
I don't care if I'm cast out
High school kids just like the year before
Not struggling in academics
But setting new standards of who can drink more
It's not their fault
That's what they've been taught
But the biggest war will be on themselves
And it's one that's never fought
And won
I've won
I know you're scared
Because I'm scared for you
You promised yourself something
And never followed through
And the prophecy comes true
To get right where you are
You look around and wonder why
You ran so fucking fast
All the friends you took for granted
Childhood memories all brushed away
Just for the sake of expectation
I won't live my life that way
Peer pressure is just a prophecy
We are doomed to live out
I won't waste time on intimidation
I don't care if I'm cast out
High school kids just like the year before
Not struggling in academics
But setting new standards of who can drink more
It's not their fault
That's what they've been taught
But the biggest war will be on themselves
And it's one that's never fought
And won
I've won
I know you're scared
Because I'm scared for you
You promised yourself something
And never followed through
And the prophecy comes true
