lyrics

Their eyes on every page
Separately they strain to
Carve what they are
Into each cast full of stars
And into each face at the bar
You can never look past
The deadbeat dads
‘Til you’ve fleshed out their character arcs

And destiny’s such a weird word
I guess to me it was a name first
All it implies
Are missteps of spaces and times
Impossible leaps of the mind
Can a terrified chase
Into one fixed place
Lead the lost to declare that they’re fine?

And I don’t care if it’s that
Because we’re too young to be correct
And we’re too old to fear effect

Your chemistry set said it first
Not reading ahead made the mess worse
All I endure
A pretty face smashed in manure
Accumulates thousands of viewers
You can get never get back
All the long-dead laughs
At a character wrongfully skewered

And I don’t care if it’s that
We’re too dumb to know the depth
Still we’re allowed to feel upset

Hold your cares back
Loudly share that
I’ve been allowed to be bored
Hold your cares back
I’ll be there yet
Hardly allowed to be born

And there’s light there
And it’s right there!

They can’t hold us back
Because they fear what we lack
And that fear’s all we are
