Lyrics The Near Future II. Eighteen - I Fight Dragons

The Near Future II. Eighteen

Eighteen at a traffic light
Ive got nowhere to be on a friday night
Ive got it all
I got nothing
Summer’s here and I’m finally free
Ive got no one to do
and no one to see
Ive got it all
I got nothing
Eighteen is a funny age
You’ve got so many dreams
And an empty page
Ive got it all
Cause Ive got nothing
Everybody knows what I should do
Everybody works so I should too
How do I explain what feels so wrong
Dealing with the shame of knowing you dont belong
So you try and smile and hope you wont always be
Alone with the dreams
Living in between
Eighteen
Eighteen and I feel so old
Like a bright screen with the paper sold
Seen it all
Ive seen nothing
Eighteen with the carded drives
A strange need just to feel alive
I see it all
I see nothing
Well have you heard
Its a golden age
Go get your golden view from your golden cage
I seen it
Because Ive seen nothing
Everybody knowns what I should do
Everybody works so I should too
How do I explain what feels so wrong
Dealing with the shame of knowing you dont belong
So you try and smile and hope
That you wont always be
Alone with your dreams
Living in between
Everybody does just what their told
Everybody buys just what their sold
How do I escape what I cant see
How do I replace the broken parts of me
No, you try and smile and hope
That you wont always be
Alone with your dreams
Living in between
Eighteen
The End
