Bane

Hey, I was just thinking that maybe you dont need to waste
Some of the best days of your lives, trying so hard to abide
By some preset list of rules
Talking about conviction
When you havent even been convinced of anything yet
Just stressing about letting down all your friends
Its like having your mom pick out your clothes for you
Youre still too young to know where you stand on anything yet
And there is nothing wrong with that
It might be kinda fun to get to know yourself a little while
Take a left at every fork, stare into every cloud
On the journey to find whats in your heart the only thing to be united
with is that pulsing in your veins
But seriously, fuck all that for a while
Whats the point of being a kid
If you are not gonna run wild and break every stupid rule
Even the ones that make those bands seem cool
You might as well hang out at church
Mark my words
Theres still so much that you have yet to learn
Your strongest beliefs the ones that will see you through
Will come to you when least expected
They cant be forced, will not be shaped to fit
Truth does not come when called
And if youre only young once and these days, they move fast
Why would you waste one second of them
Falling in line, following rules
It sounds so simple but I know its fucking hard
Its gonna take a little while to find out exactly who you are
But then maybe the day wont come
When you have to turn your back
One all those things that you once stood for
Left behind like some old pile of shirts
Ive seen it happen so many times before
Spit in the face of a sacred oath
That some of us took when ready
