"welcome to the real world"

she said to me
condescendingly

Take a seat
Take your life
Plot it out
in black and white

I've never lived the dreams of the prom kings
And the drama queens

But I'd like to think
the best of me
Is still hiding
Up my sleeve

They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines

But something's better
On the other side


I wanna run
I wanna scream sing
at the top of my lungs


So the "good" boys and girls take the so called "right track"

They read all the books
but they can't find the answers


We're getting older

I wonder if they've wished for anything better
While in their memories
Tiny tragedies

They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines
But something's better
On the other side


I am invincible
I am invincible
I am invincible
As long as
I'm alive


I just found out there's no such thing as the "real world"
Just a lie you've got to rise above

...and when I stand
on these tables before You
I will know what all this time was for
