18 Lyrics

He wasn't prepared to pack his bags

Move on so soon

He was so scared to tell them

He wasn't ready to bloom

They didn't care

Just wanted to see him walk to his doom

Who had a clue?

Roses are black

He couldn't believe they thought of that too

His casket was trashed

His body vandalized with tattoos

Gave him a number

Told him that was part of the clue

Who had a clue?

Now they erase his memories

Tried to say "I can't breathe"

This will be your last dream

Now he's 18

Now move along

Get to your station and work

He's been assigned

To clean up a hundred years' worth

Of irreversible damage to his home planet earth

Did your plan ever work?

Locked up in chains

The others go back to their tents

Don't look away

They need the help of their friends

Can't even say anything, they have to pretend

Don't wanna pretend

Now they erase his memories

Tried to say "I can't breathe"

This will be your last dream

Now he's 18

We couldn't reach the clouds and the stars

Look at us now, reality is so far

Losing their minds right now

Couldn't breathe, we had to drown

Let us all out

Praying we wouldn't get down

When someone tried to take us out

I'm tired, I'm reckless

I'm too worked up

I'm scared, I'm broken

It's too late to grow up

He wasn't prepared to pack his bags

Move on so soon

And now he's 18
