Seventeen

Seventeen
Claiming absolution
To perceptions of the world
You believe
The evidence is clear
The truths you hold so dear
You’ll always be the same
Seventeen
Trying as they might
To show you things
You think you’ve already seen
You have no axe to grind
It’s just that you’ll be fine
You’ll always be the same
You’re the same
Seventeen
Seventeen
Your hopes and dreams
Are pressed between the pages
Of your reality
The feelings are ingrained
You have no heart to change
You’ll always be the same
You’re the same
Seventeen
Seventeen
You’ll never see it coming
When you blink
And then it’s all history
The way you think will change
You’ll never be the same
You’ll never be the same
You’ll never be the same
