in august
I've dwelled on it for far too long
In drunken speeches across the lawns
To strangers at parties, the plus-one is getting rowdy
I turned 18 on a sterile bed, my blood was drawn, my stomach fed
Happy birthday to the new adult
You get one extra phone call back home
I'm sarcastic in saying that I'm grateful for that day
And you're evil for saying that you're glad I went away
I met myself on the edge, the ledge that would've left me dead
Teetering on the end of a cliff that's slowly crumbling
My parents spoke for the last time
On my grand return to life
At least my crisis brought people together, I'm glad
But I'm sarcastic in saying that I'm grateful for that day
And you're evil for saying that you're glad I went away
I'm so sorry daddy
You hate to see your little girl so sad
You walk around the block with me
Before you let me go on my own
I cried to you mommy
Your little girl is smaller now in your arms
You point out the color of the sky
I hold myself accountable to a fault
I don't wanna be afraid anymore
Of what I'm capable of doing to someone else
Or what I'd do to myself even more
I hope when I come back I'm not met with stones
Thrown at the doorsteps of both my homes
I hope when I come back you'll have forgiven me
And let me stay the night again
I'm sarcastic in saying that I'm grateful for that day
And you're evil for saying that you're glad I went away
In drunken speeches across the lawns
To strangers at parties, the plus-one is getting rowdy
I turned 18 on a sterile bed, my blood was drawn, my stomach fed
Happy birthday to the new adult
You get one extra phone call back home
I'm sarcastic in saying that I'm grateful for that day
And you're evil for saying that you're glad I went away
I met myself on the edge, the ledge that would've left me dead
Teetering on the end of a cliff that's slowly crumbling
My parents spoke for the last time
On my grand return to life
At least my crisis brought people together, I'm glad
But I'm sarcastic in saying that I'm grateful for that day
And you're evil for saying that you're glad I went away
I'm so sorry daddy
You hate to see your little girl so sad
You walk around the block with me
Before you let me go on my own
I cried to you mommy
Your little girl is smaller now in your arms
You point out the color of the sky
I hold myself accountable to a fault
I don't wanna be afraid anymore
Of what I'm capable of doing to someone else
Or what I'd do to myself even more
I hope when I come back I'm not met with stones
Thrown at the doorsteps of both my homes
I hope when I come back you'll have forgiven me
And let me stay the night again
I'm sarcastic in saying that I'm grateful for that day
And you're evil for saying that you're glad I went away
