Raising Teens In This Day And Age

Wishing and hoping and praying and believing
Don't make it happen

Praying believing and dreaming and working
Don't make it so

Sometimes it's a broken dam
Been building up before you were born
And it all comes down
Like the side of a mountain

Like an avalanche raining rocks and hopes
Ice and fire
Loving and caring and sacrifice and trusting
Don't make a change
It don't make a change
Thinking and planning wishing and hoping
Don't make a damn bit of difference
Like pissing in the wind

Like fully giving in to
Anxiety rage fear and loneliness
Nothing you can do will make it better
Everything you do makes it worse
It's a narrow ledge on a tower of babel
And you're the only language you know
You're the only language you know

Swimming in the ocean
Only 80 miles from land
Swimming with the sharks
And the sea beasts at your hands
Sinking in the quicksand floors above you
Drowning in the love that wasn't love
Abhors your, detests you

You are the powder keg
You are the spark to the fuse
You bring the rain, the thunder
Six times as deadly
As the man down under

Slipping in the grease someone else
Used for wheels
Always squeaky
Never safe
