When we were young we were born to be hopeless
We didn't know it yet but we wanted to be soulless
'Cause now when we come out it's like headlights on a deer
It's so cliché but it's so full of fear and
What's the deal with what's up to date
We scream for unity through all the summer hate
It's getting crazy and it's driving my manic
But I'm still a fucking sweetheart
And a Punk Lust Romantic
We paint a picture of what's inside
And we cut it out of the picture
I see my face but I'm not inside
My own picture
And it's enough
And it's enough
'Cause if you wanna win you're gonna wake up losing
If I don't know where it's at I'm gonna struggle with choosing
It's like passing through a door instead of jumping through a window
'Cause without the right context of the full situation we just
Paint a picture of what's inside
And we cut it out of the picture
I see my face but I'm not inside
My own picture
I can't stop looking though I've had enough
But I just guess that's just growing up and
I see my face but I'm not inside
My own picture
And it's enough
And it's enough
And it's enough
And it's enough
Why
