Feels Like This

Elisa drove up in her mother's car
We can't pay for gas so we don't drive far
She says "it's getting harder to just exist"
And I don't think it should feel like this

Morgan can't go to therapy
She can't afford it in the economy
Leaves the freezer running to ice her wrists
What else do you do when it feels like this

Our coming of age never came
Generation full of dreamers left awake
And don't you dare try and tell me to change
When I just know it shouldn't feel this way

Blake writes notes on his bedroom wall
But sickly sweet can't soothe the fall
Fogs up his lungs to go adrift
Where else do you go when it feels like this

Sierra misses all my texts
Her mind is heavy, her plans are wrecked
Writes songs about the life she missed
What else do you do when it feels like this

Our coming of age never came
Generation full of dreamers left awake
And don't you dare try and tell me to change
When I just know it shouldn't feel this way

I look out on a still life scene
I've outgrown the world but I'm still nineteen
No coming of age to reminisce
I just know it shouldn't feel like this
