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
