Lyrics:
I got a new chair for my desk but I wasn’t able to sit on it,
’cause I’m far too busy working on my music after school.
I know that it sounds stupid, but we have to get together,
and decide if getting older sounds like something we could do.

I never thought of getting paid for work and creativity,
I captured, tried to channel in my hours after school.
I don’t expect no money or perfection or the fame,
I like to do it, it’s a change to make some friends that think I’m cool.

YOU ARE MAKING IT SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHERE I BELONG TO,
DID YOU REALLY THINK WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE APART FROM NATURE?
WE’RE NOT MEANT TO BE LOCKED UP IN BURNING INSTITUTIONS THAT WILL
BRAINWASH AND MAKE US FORGET WHO WE’RE DESTINED TO BE WHEN WE GROW
UPPPPPPPPPPPP!

I am so forgiving yet your crime remains aggregious,
that you postulate the probability of leaving school.
I’ll never make it out there ’cause the world is full of vultures,
and dreaming’s only scheduled during summer at the pool.

I love you as a friend because you’re the only other person that
would never leave my side down in the hallway at our school.
I don’t want all my time to sink into polar coordinates,
I’ll navigate the complex numbers ’till I get to you.

IF I COULD, I’D STOP RIGHT NOW AND WORK MY LIFE TO BUILD A FUTURE,
WHERE WE COULD BE SAFE FROM THEM, THEIR ANTI-SOCIAL PROPAGANDA!
IT’S WHAT WE DESERVE, AND SINCE YOU FEEL THE SAME I’M CONFIDENT
WE’LL FOUND A PLACE THAT WE’LL CONSTRUCT WHERE WE TRULY BELONG WHEN WE
GROW UPPPPPPPPPP!

I did not expect to see you change to such a wild degree,
became a different person since I met you at our school.
No one signed me up for this, it’s all an eventuality,
and honestly it’s better unexpected than a tool.

I see you walking through the doors, a non-chalant expression painted
on your tired face and during roll-call here at school.
We promised us a future, like with every other pupil here,
and we’re just inching closer, every day, it’s coming soon.

I DON’T WANT TO BE LOCKED UP IN MENTAL INSTITUTIONS LEAD BY
SOCIOPATHS WHO DEMONIZE ALL THOSE THEY DISAGREE WITH ON THEIR
CONVOLUTED POINTS-OF-VIEW THEY BUILT ON TOP OF HOLLYWOOD, I
PROMISE THAT I’LL LIVE FOR YOU, YOU’LL SO LOVE BEING FREE WHEN WE GROW UPPPPPPPPPP!

If I could, I’d end the harm, so every drop of blood would go
towards the birth of brand new life, to form the population for a
universe where every and man and woman understands that all we
love is in your heart, not what we think you’re meant to be when we grow
up!

You are making it so hard to understand where I belong to…
Did you really think we were supposed to be apart when we grow up?
