Damaged Kids

I remember 15 years old at the edge of my bed

As Joy Division’s "Closer" spins

I slowly drift off in my head

I swear I died

A thousand times

To the ballad of those teenage nights

The walls cave in

And I’ve lost myself again

Don’t sink cause I know it’s tough

Said you saw it comin’ weren’t prepared enough

You wanna doubt you deserve to be loved

But keep your head up I swear that you belong

Isolation

It gets the best of me

The world progresses

While I’m chasing dreams

I question everything

Before I dive right in

Am I a recluse

Or just a damaged kid?

And even at 25, I find myself in silence

My shaking voice is screaming out

But I still prefer the quiet

All my friends moved on

Or gave up on themselves

I can’t commit to anything

Except the words escaping my mouth

Isolation

It gets the best of me

The world progresses

While I’m chasing dreams

I question everything

Before I dive right in

Am I a recluse

Or just a damaged kid?

We’re all just damaged kids

Don’t sink cause I know it's tough

Said you saw it comin weren’t prepared enough

You wanna doubt that you deserve to be loved

But keep your head up I swear that you belong

Isolation

It gets the best of me

The world progresses

But I’m stuck in these dreams

I question everything

Before I dive right in

Am I a recluse

Or just a damaged kid?

We’re all just damaged
