Wings

[Chorus] Close my eyes 'cuz I hate what I see I shut my mouth I'm too nervous to speak But my mama said I gotta leave the nest to be free If I'm too scared to jump then what good are these wings? [Verse] I'm not a saint First off my nails dipped in paint Black as hell when it rains But that'll never change Gloomy 'til they put me in the grave I'm in pain Does anyone else feel the same? Blacking out to escape But that'll never change Gloomy is the way I feel okay Keep it grey But before I sing another melody And try to gain a couple pop kids I'm talking to the lost kids Whose mom gets her ass kicked by a drunk man A step dad that swung hands Upset 'cuz his football team lost God And now you gotta walk into your class And try to act like you don't have a fucking dad Who gets mad over nothing And your friends think you're bluffing 'Cuz your parents have money And you're white and middle class Looking comfy Funny So instead of getting help You try to medicate yourself You saw some liquor on the shelf So you drink it What the fuck were you thinking? You know your family has a problem with the bottle Now because you had some trauma you decide to do it? You're so stupid What the fuck You just use it to get rid of them And now you're just as sick as them And no one's gonna help you Why the hell I tell you anything? Just brush your teeth and clean the sink And head to school before your dad hears you sing [Chorus] Close my eyes 'cuz I hate what I see I shut my mouth I'm too nervous to speak But my mama said I gotta leave the nest to be free If I'm too scared to jump then what good are these wings? What good are these wings?
