[Verse 1]
So now I am grown
Still learning words
To not have a mind of your own
Can be so contagious
Fuck following traces
With all of my patience
I'm tying my laces
And heading for changes
[Pre-Hook]
At days they tell us go and
Do exactly what you're told
So in the night we go deep down
To seek the bad and fill some wrongs
[Hook]
Oh, when it's dark and cold out
Kids about to go out
We don't need no grown ups
And I might drown in all these sins
But I taught myself to swim
So I'm drifting through this ocean

Everybody always wanna tell you something
But they know nothing
So I'm with the ones
Those who outrun
Everyone will push you away from what you want
[Pre-Hook]
At days they tell us go and

[Hook]

Kids about to go out
We don't need no grown ups
And I might drown in all these sins
But I taught myself to swim
So I'm drifting through this ocean

It's dark and I guess it's pretty cold now
Consciousness is sold out
Messed up by the grown ups
And I don't know where to begin
But I taught myself some things
About drifting through this ocean
[Hook]
Oh, when it's dark and cold out
Kids about to go out
We don't need no grown ups
And I might drown in all these sins

So I'm drifting through this ocean
[Bridge]
It's dark and I guess it's pretty cold now
Consciousness is sold out
Messed up by the grown ups
And I don't know where to begin
But I taught myself some things
About drifting through this ocean
