Handsome Adolescence

I love this handsome adolescence

Prescribed anti-depressants

Got us numb just so we can get by

Enchantment never seems to linger

Falls like sand through my fingers

Better learn to say our goodbyes

It’s the hallmark

Of our generation

Having nightmares

Of expiration

How do we go on

We’re all just lost

Dying to be found

How do we go on

We’re all just lost

Dying to be found

I love this handsome adolescence

Had to move in with my parents

Can’t even afford a car to drive

It’s a winding road to freedom

Flat tire kind of feeling

With a highway jam stealing my time

It’s the hallmark

Of our generation

Having nightmares

Of expiration

 

How do we go on

We’re all just lost

Dying to be found

How do we go on

We’re all just lost

Dying to be found

Silver screen like rosy glasses

Mirage for the masses

Sell a dream we could never buy

Jam packed trains strike for wages

Politicians hide their faces

My to-do list says ‘stay alive’

We’re all binge watching TV

The home life cure for frenzy

Wives being murdered on true crime

I love this handsome adolescence

Prescribed anti-depressants

Work hours past, 9 to 5

It’s the hallmark

Of our generation

Having nightmares

Of expiration

 

How do we go on

We’re all just lost

Dying to be found

How do we go on

We’re all just lost

Dying to be found

We’re all just lost

Dying to be found
