The Near Future II. Eighteen - I Fight Dragons

Eighteen at a traffic light

Ive got nowhere to be on a friday night

Ive got it all

I got nothing

Summer’s here and I’m finally free

Ive got no one to do

and no one to see

Ive got it all

I got nothing

Eighteen is a funny age

You’ve got so many dreams

And an empty page

Ive got it all

Cause Ive got nothing

Everybody knows what I should do

Everybody works so I should too

How do I explain what feels so wrong

Dealing with the shame of knowing you dont belong

So you try and smile and hope you wont always be

Alone with the dreams

Living in between

Eighteen

Eighteen and I feel so old

Like a bright screen with the paper sold

Seen it all

Ive seen nothing

Eighteen with the carded drives

A strange need just to feel alive

I see it all

I see nothing

Well have you heard

Its a golden age

Go get your golden view from your golden cage

I seen it

Because Ive seen nothing

Everybody knowns what I should do

Everybody works so I should too

How do I explain what feels so wrong

Dealing with the shame of knowing you dont belong

So you try and smile and hope

That you wont always be

Alone with your dreams

Living in between

Everybody does just what their told

Everybody buys just what their sold

How do I escape what I cant see

How do I replace the broken parts of me

No, you try and smile and hope

That you wont always be

Alone with your dreams

Living in between

Eighteen

The End
