Seventeen, hid my head under covers thick
I was lost, blamed it all on the dirty pricks
Clouds of smoke, mirrors hated, can't shake the shame
Yeah, I couldn't shake my name
Used my pain as a crutch
But today, it is too much
Shadow man, I push with vigor just to see what sticks
Nothing works, still surrounded by the dirty pricks
Yeah it's a trial, fight for what you love
Push through the fire, someday I'll be one
I wanna feel it
Welcome the new change
I wanna live
But it's so strange
Oh come on boy, everyone's so proud of you
Oh come on boy, it feels so close
I can see it in the distant views
I wanna lay down in the flowers
Stare up at the sky
Shake the pricks surrounding
Give this new life a try
But I don't understand
What it takes to be there
And I don't understand, but I will
I'll be one
