Colossal Youth

Pacing slowly back and forth I just got scolded for the worst Thinking to myself, "Am I to blame?" Father tells me what to do Mother tells me how to feel These days I wonder if I am alive So stop, stop what you are doing to me Can't you see how it makes me feel? I need to grow So stop, stop what you are doing to me Can't you see what I see? I need to grow Can't have freedom, can't have taste Can't I grow my hair this way? Why do you try and tell me this is wrong? The less you see, the more you care When I am home, you are not there I am youth, but I see it just the same Stop, stop what you are doing to me Can't you see how it makes me feel? I need to grow So stop, stop what you are doing to me Can't you see what I see? So I will stop, stop Stop, stop what you are doing to me Can't you see? Can't you see it at all? Stop, stop what you are doing to me I don't feel anything, I don't even see it at all So here I sit alone, I'm not even fully grown But there is so much I would like to say I tend to talk endlessly About all that comes easy to me Youth speaks now, but I may end up being something huge someday Stop, stop what you are doing to me Can't you see how it makes me feel? I need to grow So stop, stop what you are doing to me Can't you see what I see? I need to grow (Can't I grow my hair this way?)
