Teenager

Remember

You were pressured into having sex again

They made you hug the guy at 9th and 1st for a camel

You were a dove with dirty feathers

Now, you’re cleaned up, but you don’t see

Yourself

You lived a makeshift life

but you pushed all that down for good

and you intellectualize every blurb of thought

passing through your mind

You know you’re tired

You see it in your eyes

Remember

You ran from the police as a teenager

You ran from your parents as a teenager

You ran from your friends as a teenager

You ran into Lovers

You ran from the Others

and all You ever wanted was to not be told

All the things You thought You already knew

and You can’t remember what anybody told You

Remember

Your body in the park all night, no going Home

and you’re lying on the concrete, hoping you’re not Dying

Here comes the siren, that's not for You

You know you’re an Orphan

and you’ve made the world your Orphan too

You know you’re tired

You see it in your eyes

Remember

You ran from the police as a teenager

You ran from your parents as a teenager

You ran from your friends as a teenager

You ran into Lovers

You ran from the Others

and all You ever wanted was to not be told

All the things You thought You already knew

and You can’t remember what anybody told You

Walking in the park with Mommy

They said You were a special child

Well they say that to everybody

Everybody knows You are a child

You know you’re tired

You see it in your eyes

Remember

You ran from the police as a teenager

You ran from your parents as a teenager

You ran from your friends as a teenager

You ran into Lovers

You ran from the Others

and all You ever wanted was to not be told

All the things You thought You already knew

and You can’t remember what anybody told You
