The Kids Were Wrong

Come, sleep, nothing's changing I'll be right here by your side Great teens, colors fading In the stillness of the night You're thick-skinned, but it seems You're hiding in daydreams Can't find our way to the light And when this routine ends, through nights and weekends We'll see daylight through the blinds Drifting in a cold state, the glowing cracks of old days, Bodies slack and pressed beneath the hour in your eyes Fingernails and cold skin, your parents' bed we lay in, arms outstretched to emptiness, the space you left behind Go to sleep nothing's changing I'll be right here by your side Tear the seams, we're not aging Beneath these trembling starlit skies You're thick-skinned, but you know It's beyond our control Shadows gleaming through our eyes Been living the past, dear Be free from those dull years And we'll see daylight through the blinds Drifting in a cold state, the glowing cracks of old days, Bodies slack and pressed beneath the hour in your eyes Fingernails and cold skin, your parents' bed we lay in arms outstretched to emptiness, the space you left behind Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh
