Children! Look!

[Verse 1]

Tell another story, skipping through the music

Feet up on the bed, like it is therapeutic

Time's an awful listener, no one's gonna hear this

[Refrain]

These are metaphors that barely are coherent

These are metaphors I thought of before sleeping

[Chorus]

This is the worst day I've ever lived

This is an example they'll put in a book

This is the worst thing I've ever done

Display it in museums and say

"Children, look! You wanna be old?

Who gets what they want?

Is it a gash or a paper cut?

You wanna be old? You can't speed up

Is it black mold or is it dust?"

[Verse 2]

He is an idea

Knowing him defeats the purpose of a dream

'Cause dreams will never please ya

I'm a good companion

I'm a loose cannon

[Refrain]

These are metaphors for what I can't examine

These are metaphors, for metaphors, for metaphors

[Chorus]

This is the worst day I've ever lived

This is an example they'll put in a book

This is the worst thing I've ever done

Display it in museums and say

"Children, look! You wanna be old?

Who gets what they want?

Is it a gash or a paper cut?

You wanna be old? You can't speed up

Is it black mold or is it dust?"

[Bridge]

(What am I saying?

What am I

What am I saying here?)

[Chorus]

This is the worst day I've ever lived

This is an example they'll put in a book

This is the worst thing I've ever done

Display it in museums and say

"Children, look! You wanna be old?

Who gets what they want?

Is it a gash or a paper cut?

You wanna be old? You can't speed up

Is it black mold or is it dust?"
