Growing Pains

(album: No More Hope For The Hopeless - 2022)

Let's go

Another night spent on my phone
Attempts of feeling less alone
The depths of my mind leave me cold
I'm feeling far away from home
All my ghosts live online (Yeah)
The lives of those I left behind
I get blinded as I'm reminded of all the hearts I used to know

I'm 27, what the fuck?
All my friends are growing up
They're living dreams that I once had
I'm living mine, it's not so bad

Growing pains, finding out that nothing stays the same
Turn away from all the things that we know we can't change
I'll be sober when it's over, how I used to love October
Watch the leaves change til they fall, it's just a metaphor after all

Past love's getting married, loving someone else
Still ain't figured out yet how to love myself
Got a couple dreams that I put up on the shelf
Hoping one day I can leave this hell
Guess I grew out, never grew up
Breakdowns, breakthroughs through the breakups
I don't trust too much in the world these days
Only thing I know for certain is the certainty has changed

I'm 27, what the fuck?
All my friends are growing up
They're living dreams that I once had
I'm living mine, it's not so bad

Growing pains, finding out that nothing stays the same
Turn away from all the things that we know we can't change
I'll be sober when it's over, how I used to love October
Watch the leaves change til they fall, it's just a metaphor after all
