lyrics

[Chorus]
This is for the kids who’re alone and lonely (like me)
Bless an adolescent who won’t go for phonies (like me)
Hoping they ain’t Holden to a Catcher in the Rye
Pipe dreams might seem quite trite until you fly (until you fly)

[Verse 1]
I remember ten years prior to the present
Grades 9, 10, and 11, I was wired with this venom
Coursing through my veins, silent but in my head I was an enemy
No friend to me, regrettably I meant the shit I said to me
Anyone who hates who they are, this for you
Anyone who’s praying for tomorrow, this for you
Anyone who came to the party or the bar
But who’s waiting by the car for their friends to finish boozing, this for you
Don’t ever let a “rebel” get you down
Cuz you ain’t went with them to town to do shit that ain’t allowed
Hell, you’re better than them, how? Cuz your vision’s in the clouds
And these kids are friggin sheep the way they listen to the crowds
Who’s really breaking rules? And who’s paying dues?
Who’s playing who when they ain’t staying in school?
Who’s making moves for a future? It’s true
That the dude who’s en route to a new age is you

[Bridge]
You say you relate to nobody?
You say you’re a stranger at most parties?
You’re praying you won’t die as a pariah
But I’m saying you’re a liar when you say you’re nobody

[Verse 2]
They labeled this table of kids the outcasts (cool)
They labeled this table of kids clown brats (cool)
They labeled this table of kids the “now” pack, cool
But what label are you taking when you hate em all? (fools)
Fake ID’s, the fake I needed’s some fake white teeth
To fake my cheesing when fakes recited a night or evening
Or even a weekend, I fake liked hearing their beefing up
The set of events that progressed as their life beested
Please, I never fit in with any of em
I know there must be others who are sick of hearing nothing
Cuz to be a real rebel stunting now you’ve gotta feel something
Other than the puff of a blunt or your fucking beer buzzing
I’m too far removed to sit here and stew
But that doesn’t mean I can’t spit a verse for a few
Minutes getting this shit off my chest for a blessing, imbuing
Breath to a dude who fights depression in my youthful shoes
