lyrics

No matter who i am
cant keep up with the moving van
the circuts are bugged and the switch won't stay on
and i just can't be damned
no matter how i act
i never seem to fit the terms of my contract
they’ve told me that a woman shouldn’t be like me
and that i’ll never be one
just a god given fact
and i’m way too young to be getting too old for everything
and i’m way too young
its become quite a comforting feeling
no matter what i say
they still stay furious at me everyday
never matters how hard i work anymore
as long as they have their way
no matter how i breathe
i can’t seem to melt the frozen cave beneath
if i shiver it could be i’ve still got loose pine needles
hanging on inside of me
no matter where i walk
i’ll never find the place where it all stops
where i can knock upon it’s door and say
yeah i still need more rest am i allowed to come in again
no matter how hard i fight
they’re still keeping the same dumb shit alive
seems like no matter how they see
they still can’t grow up past the age of five
and i’m way too young to be getting too old for everything
and i’m way too young that's what old people are always telling me
and i know where i stand
and i know the name of my favorite strand
i had to escape to find these truths
ive stopped waiting for them to understand
no matter how i sleep
i have premonitions always cutting my soul deep
memories of the bits of a good life that i wish i had
as a single entity
no matter what i look for
i never feel like anyone wants me anymore
or if i ever want anything or anyone in turn
so i just lay down on the floor
no matter who i am
cant keep up with the moving van
it’s hard to hope like i used to
too used to my spirit getting crammed
and i’m way too young to be getting too old for everything
and i’m way too young i dare you to make me feel anything anymore
