lyrics

let's play a game of hide-and-seek. i'll leave forever and you'll never find me. everyone's growing up, or so it seems, while i'm stuck in a scavenger hunt with no one on my team.

i stopped counting the days that were never mine to take. there's no one else to blame, it's me i fucking hate. it's me that ruins everything.

so i built a ship out of cardboard and spit, tied my bed sheet to a stick, and sailed against the wind. i sought to search the seven seas of my neighbors' lawns, but never found love, or god, or anything at all.

i stopped counting the days that were never mine to take. there's no one else to blame, it's me i fucking hate. it makes me ruin everything.

the fairy tales i grew up with taught me nothing but how to deal with disappointment. page after page of ghostwritten fibs. a graveyard of names i lost my faith in.

and when the monsters beneath my bed all ended up living in my head, i took my knife, and i took my pen, and i cracked my skull wide open to see what lay within.

but much to my dismay, as i shook in disbelief, the only thing i feared was little, old me. afraid of my nightmares. afraid of my dreams. tossing and turning, afraid to fall asleep.

and every textbook excuse, no matter how simplistic or crude, keeps my eyes glued to the corners of this room, trying to make sense of a childhood i never outgrew.

the innocence of youth, overshadowed by the pain of the truth.
