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?
