The Near Future II. Eighteen

Eighteen at a traffic light I’ve got Nowhere to be on a Friday night I’ve got it all I’ve got nothing Summer’s here and I’m finally free, I’ve got No work to do and no one to see I’ve got it all I’ve got nothing Eighteen is a funny age I’ve got So many dreams and an empty page I’ve got it all Because I’ve got nothing Everybody knows what I should do Everybody works so I should too How do I explain what feels so wrong? Dealing with the shame of knowing you don’t Belong So you try to smile and hope that you won’t Always be Alone with your dreams Living in between Eighteen... Eighteen yet I feel so old like a Bright screen with a paper soul I’ve seen it all I’ve seen nothing Eighteen with a car that drives and a Strange need just to feel alive I’ve seen it all I’ve seen nothing Have you heard its a golden age? Go get your Golden view from your golden cage I’ve seen it all Because I’ve seen nothing Everybody knows what I should do Everybody works so I should too How do I explain what feels so wrong? Dealing with the shame of knowing you don’t Belong So you try to smile and hope that you won’t Always be Alone with your dreams Living in between Everybody does just what they’re told Everybody buys just what they’re sold How do I escape what I can’t see? How do I replace the broken parts of me? No, you try to smile and hope that you won’t Always be Alone with your dreams Living in between Eighteen...
