lyrics

Stumbled into a hurdle I deliberately placed.
Then the mirror caught my pimpled face
as I tripped across the boundary.
Afraid of my containment,
afraid of being free.
Around the corner is a ghastly face,
and that’s the face of me.
But ugly ghosts are skin deep,
could never touch what’s inside--
could never compete.

I bet you already know
what it’s like to be teenaged, all right.
Frustration, anger and fright.
This is what it’s really like.
And that’s how you and I were raised.

As soon as I had a say in my days,
I went ballistic.
No one told me what is realistic.
Couldn’t tell what was just a phase,
or even in what ways.
This is widely considered fuel for life.
Being teenaged.
This is widely considered to be fuel for life.
Being teenaged.
