Teenagehood
And through the teenage years
Youll come to know my hopes and fears
Whats brings down a waterfall of tears
Whos face and by what grace I came to learn
to defend my honour With a mace
Win by any means Any race
How to learn from my mistakes
For my disheartened sake
So we dont break
Have a heart
Dont start On me
I know ive done wrong
But im trying to be strong
Ive been pulled left and right
In and out of sight
Sometimes ill be gone
For quite awhile Running the roads
Trying to figure out my style
Dont give up On me
Im trying not to
Cant you see
This life is tough
Im in the rough
At the end ill be buff
But right now Im weak
I dont know how Ill reach the peak
To take a break
Put my mistake
Behind me
Move on I cant pretend i didnt see
The ugliness
This world can give
The innocence It takes away
Ill stay but not for long
Im not that strong
The temptation of the sirens song
Calling us to Take it easy
Be greasy
Give up when theres no hope in sight
When theres no chance of light
Take flight
But ill fight as long as i can
As long as i can stand.
