lyrics

take my words, as you you pick,
from the dust, from the shit,
from the pills, from the woes,
from the depth of my bones
a pain that's been written down for someone else to skim

take my notes, take my phone,
take ideas and pictures and code
you can't deny I can't live by
the standards that some other country decided I might

And all the girls are left behind

with hopes and dreams, regrets and plights
A faithless lover and their cries
All meanings that can't be derived
From pretty faces not a smile
Unwelcoming places, no blanket, he's quiet
Unenduring races, what a crime
Unending experiences, the universe fights

take my pain, from my joy
separate greedy child
parents advice from your device
a rhythm for your life that's been defined
but nobody cares to go back and ask why

take my teeth, yellow from smoking
take my limbs, wrecked from my stroking
all I deal with has a purpose
and you can't deny that I can't live by
the standards that I myself decided to chase down

And all the children have reasons to cry

with questions asked, that nobody knows
how to answer properly, just wait til you're grown
with terror in your head, a game might just do
a new friend for life, just wait until school
then come back home, your safest place
and find your favorite things suddenly being replaced
Unnerving in attitude, the grown ups have gone out of their minds
