Children! Look!

[Verse 1]
Tell another story, skipping through the music
Feet up on the bed, like it is therapeutic
Time's an awful listener, no one's gonna hear this

[Refrain]
These are metaphors that barely are coherent
These are metaphors I thought of before sleeping

[Chorus]
This is the worst day I've ever lived
This is an example they'll put in a book
This is the worst thing I've ever done
Display it in museums and say
"Children, look! You wanna be old?
Who gets what they want?
Is it a gash or a paper cut?
You wanna be old? You can't speed up
Is it black mold or is it dust?"

[Verse 2]
He is an idea
Knowing him defeats the purpose of a dream
'Cause dreams will never please ya
I'm a good companion
I'm a loose cannon

[Refrain]
These are metaphors for what I can't examine
These are metaphors, for metaphors, for metaphors

[Chorus]
This is the worst day I've ever lived
This is an example they'll put in a book
This is the worst thing I've ever done
Display it in museums and say
"Children, look! You wanna be old?
Who gets what they want?
Is it a gash or a paper cut?
You wanna be old? You can't speed up
Is it black mold or is it dust?"

[Bridge]
(What am I saying?
What am I
What am I saying here?)

[Chorus]
This is the worst day I've ever lived
This is an example they'll put in a book
This is the worst thing I've ever done
Display it in museums and say
"Children, look! You wanna be old?
Who gets what they want?
Is it a gash or a paper cut?
You wanna be old? You can't speed up
Is it black mold or is it dust?"
