The Spectacle

Growing Pains

The Spectacle


I've been sick and silenced 
forgot I had a heart at all 
I know I know I should have known 
But it's hard to remember when life is such a short time 
But it's hard to remember when time is a long time 
And I was told that I would never die or grow old 
Or at least that was what they sold me 

Weeds are growing in my playground, haven't been there for a long time 
and if we are born to fail then just slit your throat 
life has to be more than this, at least I hope for more 
and if we are born to fail what's the point of living at all? 
weeds are growing in my playground, haven't been there for a long time 
and if we are born to fail then just slit your throat 

and it's hard to remember when life is such a long time 
and a long long long time it went exactaly as I planned 
and a long long long time it went exactaly as I planned 
and a long long time ago it went exactaly as I planned 

back then we had no plans, we had no worries 
we had no home, nor a resting place 
they say you can't be a kid forever and ever 
but I beg to differ, but I beg to differ 
why would I ever trade my skateboard for your working life? 
for you working knife stealing every tace of life 
we once slept under upen skies, told stories in the wind 
our sleeping bags are now just a vast memory
