The Youth

He said
He was finally home
He made it big
The sun barely set
And he's ready to begin his week
But in the other room
Was a mind that would restart again
And try to hold on as a
New kid without confidence
He tried to pretend
That he wasn't in the room
That's when His father barged in and said
"You best be fucking listening"
In the back of his mind he knew that
This was just the start of it and
Bit down on his tongue
Until the blood dripped from his mouth
And he yelled

I eat just fine
In the bathroom stalls
Like learning to lie
I get a kick out of what your telling me
Go sharpen your knives
And hold the blades to your throat
This is my new reality
Please don't say you're proud of me

I felt this before
Mama thought I was bad news
When I left through that door
And smashed a few things on the
Way out
I'm desperate for more
Maybe it's not the best thing
To hide damaged young brain
Inside the things that you say
I eat just fine In the bathroom stalls
Like learning to lie
I get a kick out of what your telling me
Go sharpen your knives
And hold the blades to your throat
This is my new reality
Please don't say you're proud of me

I got a lot on my mind
The small examples
Are so hard to define me now
I think I might take my time
No sense in staying
When I know
I'll be on my way
I got a lot on my mind
The small examples
Are so hard to define me now
I think I might take my time
No sense in staying
When I know
I'll be on my way

I eat just fine In the bathroom stalls
Like learning to lie
I get a kick out of what your telling me
Go sharpen your knives
And hold the blades to your throat
This is my new reality
Please don't say you're proud of me
I eat just fine In the bathroom stalls
Like learning to lie
I get a kick out of what your telling me
Go sharpen your knives
And hold the blades to your throat
This is my new reality
Please don't say you're proud of me
I think I've lost my gravity
So fuck you and fuck what you think of me
