Latchkey Kids - Bury My Promises... Lyrics

I promised myself
By this age, I'd be someone
Or at least, someone else
Not on stage, but on top of
The fuzz in my brain
It all seems so awful frightening
I've got nothing to lose
But loose screws that could use some tending to

I can't work a job if I'm not stable
I tried 9-5 and I'm not able
The real world is using me
I'm at war with myself and I'm losing

I promised myself
By this age, I'd be someone
Or at least, someone else
Not on stage, but on top of
The fuzz in my brain
It all seems so awful frightening
I've got nothing to lose
But loose screws that could use some tending to

So I'll Bury my words and my promises
For the day that I learn to be confident
I'm not dying yet

I promised myself
By this age, I'd be someone
Or at least, someone else
Not on stage, but on top of
The fuzz in my brain
It all seems so awful frightening
I've got nothing to lose
But loose screws that could use some tending to

There's a hole in my heart
Where I used to bleed
Since we started growing apart
A part of me retreats Inside
You decide
Is there a burnout or a burning light
In me?
