18 Years Lyrics by ​new threads

Death in the Afternoon

2017

I find it funny to laugh at sad movies
Cuz I can’t handle the pain
And my sense of humor’s kinda messed up
But aren’t we all just a little sane?
And everyone says
“Jacob, there’s a special place for you in Hell”
But the joke’s on them cuz the Devil himself
Told me I wasn’t allowed

Breathe me in and spit me out
You can tell me what I am and tell me what I’m not
But that’s not what this is about
You say “Build your walls and shut me out
It’s all you’ve done for 18 years
So kid, why stop it now?”

I don’t really have a lot of friends
Cuz one or two is all ya need
But when I've got probs and no one’s around
I need to count on somebody
But I sing these songs every night
And that’s supposed to ease the pain
Oh wait, I forgot that I can’t feel that too
And you’ve probably never even heard me sing

Breathe me in and spit me out
You can tell me what I am and tell me what I’m not
But that’s not what this is about
You say “Build your walls and shut me out
It’s all you’ve done for 18 years
So kid, why stop it now?”
