Love and Growing Pains

[Verse 1]
You can keep your fucking letters
Imma stay in flossy fabric
Post-truth I’m trying to mitigate the marching madness
Ask for what you need and you may find you get the things you seek
Avoid aversion pray for strength and learn to cover peace
And as I grow I find
I find love in the strangest places
Outside of a show
At protests
And in digital spaces
I love to love
I love lust
I take that back
I hate it
My self-control is in danger in certain situations
And as much as I wish the planet would reset
I look at our world
And I admit that it is quite amazing
Reciting mantras in hopes of a sudden revelation
To quench the thirst cuz I’m not hungry
But constantly craving
I want it all
I want it all
I want it all
For myself
Channeling Sufjan stubbornly never asking for help
Hiding my flaws behind the façade of ego
Where I go he go
Human being perpetuating my evils (and good too)

[Hook]
I wish that I understood all the things I don’t know
Do you still think that we have enough time to grow?

[Verse 2]
How do you love in the 21st century?
Friends turn to lovers
And lovers they turn to enemies
Believer in karma calling cards and destiny
Everything is circular
So do we ever rest in peace?
What time it is to be alive
Smart cars that self drive
But it’s hard to connect
For you and I
So many boxes and notifications on the mind
But for a moment would you mind if we stepped outside?
Feel the air in your hair
Acknowledge that we exist
Cuz I don’t know if there will be another time like this
Before you go I kindly ask you for one last kiss
Everything ends at some point
And it’s your touch that I’ll miss

[Hook]
I wish that I understood all the things I don’t know
Do you still think that we have enough time to grow?
