Sad Lads Anonymous

This was a dumb idea, even for you I'm not straight enough to be straight And I'm too damn scared to be wild I'm mix paced People keep telling me how much better it is here than London You're over excited, convincing yourself that you like it The sea's not the only thing here that's full of shite You think cold water will save you I roam around on a chequered board of vape shops and nail bars I came to observe and not to play I could never properly understand the rules of the game anyway Or what's worse? Dying before your time or living beyond it?
