Eighteen (18)

I'm a kid... and Its tiring
Just seeing that you're making it worse...
and just how do you get through the day
Knowing you're responsible for my time...
And how do you deal
when everything I say is a lie?

I'm a kid... and its tiring
Because you keep me in this rat hole that is swallowing my life....
and you sit there watching it pass you by...

I'm eighteen.... and its tiring
Knowing there's no memories left to share with you...
Because these four walls were everything and All I ever knew...

and when I make a mistake you're always there,
to tell me what to say and tell me what to wear...
give me some space, let me breathe
if you're the adult, why can't you let me learn from my mistakes?

I'm eighteen... and its all lies...
said I was in school after three,
doing something educational...
but I went out and had fun...
and for the first time I feel fine,
...So Is that a crime?

I'm eighteen.... and movin' on...
where did the whole lesson on responsibility go?
Graduation and college... I'm not ready...

I'm eighteen... must be a fiction....
your dysfunctional eyes... you need a prescription...
Because you see a kid,
But can't you see this kid is retiring?
When will you see reality?

I'm a kid... isn't it tiring?
