Lollipops turn into cigarettes
Playfully innocent young hearts
Their smiles say a thousand words
As they will ask questions
Trying to understand it all
When they finally understand, it will be over
Nothing lasts forever
Expectation, responsibility, duty
Obey us, you ungrateful child, or else
The world isn’t fair
Your feelings don’t matter
Work for us, listen to us, bleed for us
I need some rest, I must escape
And then I look around
To see the other kids aren’t kids anymore
They’re not innocent anymore
They gave up long before I did
Smoke the stress away
Drink the thoughts away
**** the pain away
What does it even matter?
Why should I care what they do?
Why does it hurt so much?
The same smoke you exhale will choke you
You can’t drown your demons, they know how to swim (Trust me, I should know)
And love is deeper than that
I hate being smart
I hate being right
How long will I be able to keep this up?
Until you open your eyes and finally wake up
Please just wake up
For me
Please
