Boyhood

Mom and dad told me: slow it down
But mom and dad don't know what's allowed
In my own boyhood, I have found
Everyone pushing me on and out I'm on the pursuit of happiness
Trying to figure myself out
And everyone else is just coming down
Infected with life, it's mine now

Boyhood, boyhood

Dad, he was a mean drunk. Momma fell
Down too far to get out
Sometimes you get love endowed
Sometimes you live your life a hell

Now I can't sleep - it's too loud
Born to a path in which I am bound
Where I get less as evermore
Washed up on my conscious shore Am I a ghost story? Etching echoes?
Cause it'd be easy to let go
Ninety-seven seconds, no one knows
Where we're going, but we go
