Lyrics:
A positive picture of you,
Is a negative picture of youth
It encapsulates an all new view
Even at such a young age,
The lights won’t dim as you head for that stage
It’s just an ugly version of truth
Shave the side of your head
A new fashion, you’re almost dead
You showed us the way
And now you’ve got nothing left to say
We’ve seen what you do
Just to make it through
Each week, but it doesn’t have to be this way
You’ve found success
In your brand new skin dress
Being yourself was never your thing
It’s sad, but
We told you…
(It’s sad, but we told you)
I never wanted to see
(It’s sad, but we told you)
Your fucked up version of truth
I don’t want to see what happens
To you…
