Could we go back there and linger?
In the innocence of childhood.
Back where we sucked on our fingers.
I want to go back, I need to go back.
Could we go back and stay?
You know, before we got this way.
I want to go back, I need to go back.
Before we grew up.
Before I fucked up.
Before I fucked him.
Before I fucked you.
Stay there,
there where
we didn't hate our parents.
We didn't hate each other.
Where no one's a user.
Where no one's an abuser.
Before everything got fucked.
Before everyone sucked.
I think I'll go to the mall, to the park.
Pretend it all goes away.
Pretend I'm happy.
Pretend I'm not alone.
But instead, I'll just lie here.
Wishing I would just die here.
