Truth Serum

I feel like a kid

whose lost in his mind

an adult body

but his head was left behind

 

I just want to have fun

I don't want to grow up

and I look back

where did I fuck up?

 

Why do I think so differently?

What's wrong with me?

I look around the world

why can no one else see?

 

When you grow up

all you get is hurt and pain

you get kids and a house

but nothing is gained

 

You say you get wise

but I've seen the truth

Because I have seen wisdom

in just as many youth

 

who told us the lie

that when we turn a certain age

we give up our lives

and are stuck in a cage

 

I don't understand

I just want to be free

I'm losing my mind

fucking crazy

 

I look at the world

all I see is the dark

when all I wanted to see

was the tiniest spark

 

The key to the cage

flame to light the world

Sodium Pentothal

the truth unfurled
