Nineteen Lyrics

I was thinking about the artists I like

And it seems that the ones who don't die young

Only grow to become more dull and drab

And get older to lose the flame they had

And it's... It's kind of sad

That even the ones with the brightest dreams

Who did the hardest things to reach the highest peaks

Only seem to die out after achieving what they wished

I've seen how the waves of the daily life

Slowly erode the shores of your shining light

Gently wash your passion and your will to fight

Until you're but a shadow in the shell a man

I've seen how the years imperceptibly pass

And carry your joy and your passion away

And leave you dreaming like a ghost in the end

Removing even the anger you had

Well fuck that, fuck all that

I'd rather die young than grow to be an old hag

With no brighter dream than waiting for a broadcast

Thinking 'bout the old times, what I wish I'd done right

Looking forward to death like a postcard

No vim left to go fight, not even hope, "no thanks"

Fuck that, I'd rather blow out and croak now

Than fade away like a blurred spark, if all's that's

Left for me is this sore path

I'd rather walk on the rogue path

I'd rather walk on my own now

I'd rather walk as a rockstar, if what's

Left for me is this sore path

I'd rather walk on the rogue path

I'd rather live on my own now

I'd rather die as a rockstar

I'm young, I'm heated

I'm dark, I'm shining

I burn, I'm sinking

I'm hurt, I'm breathing

I'm young, so damn it

I want to be free

I want to be me

I want to be nineteen

I don't want to grow up

I don't want to grow old

To be like the others

To be like I've been, no

I'm young, I'm passioned

I know what my dream is

I want to have no regrets

I want to be nineteen

Nineteen

So I'll do everything I can

To stay as I am

To keep living as I live

As I'm nineteen

So I'll do everything I can

To stay as I am

As I'm nineteen
