Coming Of (R)Age

The lights come up and the curtain splits
I swear it was concrete when I, last looked at it
Naked and exposed, something feels like burning
I never once thought i'd see us like this

I love you too, I know this hurts
I've been where you are and this will probably get worse
unprepared and ill-advised
we were never supposed to be left to our own devices

look me in the eye and promise me
despite what you see
you'll
stay in hell with me

It's easier to breathe
and make yourself believe
than to watch from the wings as we're all left to grieve
you're not hopeless - I see it too
everybody sucks and they're all out to get you

Hold my hand, white-knuckle under stage lights
shaking and confused like we never learned our lines
You're probably right, this isn't worth the fight
and if the world ends tonight it's just the end of a big lie

Look me in the eye and promise me
stay in hell with me

It's easier to breathe
and make yourself believe
than to watch from the wings as we're all left to grieve
you're not hopeless - I see it too
everybody sucks and they're all out to get you
