Dandelion Kids

[Verse 1]
Out of concrete walls we show up in abusive homes we grow up
We let older friends raise us while teachers' eyes rate us
We are chameleons, many times comedians
You better grow a fast and a sharp tongue
To bounce those jokes about your weird mom

[Pre-Chorus]
It's macaroni in a teapot
'Cause mamas too depressed to wake up
It's fishfingers in the toaster
Look, the kids, they made you dinner
It's learning early how to down shots
It's looking other places for love
It's losing hard on strip poker
And keeping an eye over your shoulder

[Chorus]
You and me, we are dandelions
Walls will crumble, dust will pave the streets
But we will blossom through the concrete
We've lived a hundred lives
And we'll live a hundred more before we leave
Yeah, we will blossom through the concrete

[Verse 2]
Through polluted soil we're blooming in forgotten tunnel crossings
We are the evening flowers with superhero powers
They call us broken ones, but we are the dandelions
You better grow a fast and a sharp tongue
To bounce those jokes about your weird mom

[Pre-Chorus]
It's macaroni in a teapot
'Cause mamas too depressed to wake up
It's fishfingers in the toaster
Look, the kids, they made you dinner
It's learning early how to down shots
It's looking other places for love
It's losing hard on strip poker
And keeping an eye over your shoulder

[Chorus]
You and me, we are dandelions
Walls will crumble, dust will pave the streets
But we will blossom through the concrete
We've lived a hundred lives
And we'll live a hundred more before we leave
Yeah, we will blossom through the concrete

[Post-Chorus]
(We will blossom through the concrete)
(We will blossom through the concrete)
(We will blossom through the concrete)

[Outro]
Working shifts, wearing scrubs, carrying wedges
And truthfully a little rough around the edges
And usually, it's the pain that reflects in them
Turning in to their silver lining
Most the time no we don't really notice them
When looking for cars they look out for pedestrians
Beat ourselves black and blue just to find them
Now I know they grow wild in the garden
