Ceremonies

So I'm
Getting to know me
Really slowly

Soon who
I am right now
Will be the old me

I'll ask
Me from the future
How we doing

Do you
Wish you were me
Should I wish I was you

Now that I envy
All of my past selves
Who had their health

'Cause now I'm
Constantly scared
And needing repairs

And no matter
What I achieve
I get thoughts of leaving

There
Trapped down in my youth
I wish I was you

With our age old ceremonies
That we made up

Now such dear memories
From when we stayed up

Late watched the sun
From the street
As we made up all those

Lives that we surely would lead
But now our lives lead us

So I'll turn life
Into a habit
But I'll have this

Weight that
People erase
Or think that I'm faking

Freedom
Is in the short term
As I have learned

There's no real
Sense of completion
Only seasons

Spring comes
Tells me of summer
And then under

It's breath says
Autumn's a promise
To prolong this

Stay as
Whoever I will be
That's the real me

There
Trapped down in my youth
I wish I was you

Still the hardest words
That anyone has said

I sometimes wish
I just wouldn't have asked

The final cut
In a long series of stabs

Look we're sorry kid
But you'll never get your old life back
You will never get your old life back
You will never get your old life back

Or your
Age old ceremonies
That we made up
Now such dear memories
From when we stayed up

Late watched the sun from the street
As we made up all those
Lives that we surely would lead

With our
Age old ceremonies
That we made up
Now such dear memories
From when we stayed up

Late watched the sun from the street
As we made up all those
Lives that we surely would lead

But now our lives lead us
But now our lives lead us
But now our lives lead us
