I was never asked if I wanted to grow up

I never wanted anything to make sense

felt alive in the depths of youth

it kept me going all by myself

The lessons that wanted me to behave

were those I dreamed of when I woke up afraid

I see the heavy rain in front of me

and hear the hours ticking so fast

I wanna safe it all before it's too late

Twentytwo,

breath to die, turn to dust and learn to fly

Twentytwo,

that's where I fall apart and where I come to life

Stony paths, they led my way

it felt so good to go astray

blessed ignorance, I call it youth

spent nights of bliss and days of sorrow

the road that never ends is the one to follow

tried so hard to live by the codes of youth

realized my believes will turn to dust

fortune walked away from me

I don't like myself anymore since I'm twentythree

Twentytwo,

breath to die, turn to dust and learn to fly

Twentytwo,

that's where I fall apart and where I come to life
