lyrics

I see them walking down the hallway, see her clinging to his arm
I see them blissfully in lust, but then the next day fall apart
I watch waves of raw emotion oversaturate their hearts, but they will keep that locked away
they will not ever share that part

So I see them stare down grown ups, see their faces filled with hate
I see them cracking every knuckle as their posture slips away
I see them shifting in their seats as they so slightly tap their feet
They know that they bear no case, yet they refuse to take defeat

I can not sink down in this sea
These high school years have got the best of me
and it weighs me down. It weighs me down
If not for the future I wouldn't breathe.

I see them out on the weekends having fun and getting stoned
Then I see me at my house, and I'm just sitting on my own
with just my thoughts inside my head that say I guess I'm on my own
So now alone is where I stay on Friday nights stuck at my home

But then I see them with the bottle
Then I see them in the car
Then I see them in the paper
With their families torn apart
I see them filling up the chapels
See them ripping out their hearts
I hear them praying up to God,
Hear them screaming its his fault.

Why can't you just take me instead?

I can not sink down in this sea
These high school years have got the best of me
and it weighs me down. It weighs me down
If not for the future I wouldn't breathe.

I'm over fighting battles that I know that you have won.
