lyrics

time goes slowly when you're doing nothing
go to school, you're crying, come home, you're crying

you say your mom hates you, well I don't believe you
i know you're lying,i just can't prove it

What I'm sayings honest, but what you're doing's careless
I'm doing my best here, but you're going nowhere

I want to feel like I've got control
I want to feel, I shouldn't just be told

I want to be like him, he became who he's really
He does what he wants to and people like him for it

I want to be like her, all she does is golden
Her paintings, her drawings, I want to be in them

What does it even look like, to know you're never catching up
To know it in your heart
And what does it play like, when it's ten years later, fifteen, twenty
Maybe more
And what does my brain do
How do I even sort this shit?
