Year of the Brother - Adolescence Lyrics

So, this is it, I guess
You entrusted every aspect to somebody else
You turn it off and begin
To inspire a devotion that cuts off all your friends
Without hope, there's no faith
It's a stagnating pool of blood that comes from the head
You look back from where you've come
But it don't change the fact that what is done is done

And you wake up one morning and your childhood is gone
I'm never gonna go down
I'm never gonna fall
Everything, it changes faster than we know
It's written in my Bible
It's written on the wall
I know I messed this up more than once
We're all out here just tryna do our best
But you tried so hard to be something you could never be

And now I'm drowning with a life vest

I get the feeling I'm livin' in a lie
So how come when there's a chance to move on I don't even try
You etched your sketch into my mind
But no matter how hard I try to catch you, I'm left behind
I can see the marks on the dead fig tree
I can see the scars left on your cheek
Where I left a kiss, where we used to live

And you wake up one morning and your childhood is gone
But I'm never gonna go down
I'm never gonna fall
Everything, it changes faster than we know
It's written in my Bible
It's written on the wall
I know I messed this up more than once
We're all out here just tryna do our best
But you tried so hard to be something you could never be

Drowning with a life vest
Drowning with a life vest
Oh, I'm drowning with a life vest
Drowning with a life vest
