Golden Age

from You Made Us This Way by VICE

/

lyrics

I spent my fucking life walking on egg shells. Everything went wrong so now I'm walking in hell
Wasting time wasting space
Searching for the better days
I wanna be stuck in my golden age
But I'm trapped in a nightmare called reality
Losing myself. Losing my mind.
Stuck in the past. Wish I was 2 years behind.
Gotta retrace the steps I used to take
Recently I've been led astray
Into the desert in my mind
Now I'm just lifeless all the time
Where did all the time go?
Along with the bliss and ignorance?
Before I opened my eyes picked out the things I despise
And realized I'm just living in shit
Eaten alive by my fucking life
A slave to depression I need to fucking rise
Bad mistakes. Even if I turn to a smiling face it wouldn't help because every smile is fake
My youths on trial. Downward spiral. I wanna be able to crack a real fucking smile
Growing up has only weighed me down
Others have happiness. But all I've found
Is that at the end of the day I've lost the life that I've made. I'm 17 with nothing but a bad taste.
As time passes I'm only getting older
Wasting away as my black heart grows colder
Unmotivated. I've just faded
Into a rut and I can't break it.
Mom says face the real life
I can't let life pass me by
Nostalgia eating away at me
This is no kind of life. I'm losing everything
Every mornings the same old shit
No more passion. No friends. I'm at my wits end
My anger turned inward
A liar a quitter
There's not an ounce of hope left inside
Some days I wish I'd just fucking die
Everything I try turns to shit
This is total abandonment
