lyrics

Well, I started smoking last year for fun. I don't think that it's quite hit me what a battle I've begun. I suck cancer through my lips, and blow it out again into the space that you are in. I don't think that this anger will amount to anything, right now it's just words on paper, or that I'm screaming at a microphone to a bunch of you that I convinced to listen. You're being robbed. Why does all this trouble talk bother me? Do I hold my own shackles or do I hold a key? Shouldn't I feel young? Shouldn't I feel free? Shouldn't I feel privileged or something? Well, I don't. I think the thing that scares me most about this whole mess are the things I'm capable of but I choose not to do. It's like I pride myself on being second best and laugh it off like it's no big deal. Who am I kidding? And I want to create. I want something to call my own. I don't want to be defined by all the shit I hate.
