When I tell the story of this decade

The memories and melodies are never the same I knew that we prevailed

Knew it all too well

Never end up stale

Another thing that I wish I knew

Is how you're gonna sit me down and make me choose

There's no doubt it will turn around

So I'll tell myself that I'm

Not a victim

But I'll own up to the mistakes that I made

I can see through it all

The world's never gonna fall back

Ask where you're at

Out with the old

Let the truth be told

Shape up, and stand tall

When I tell you why I don't act my age

It compliments the fact that you've got nothing to say

I knew that it took time and a f**ked up mind

Just to stay in line

But all the value I could demonstrate

And all the places that I've grown to hate

Well, they bring life, so I'll say it twice

I just wanna know what it's like to rebel

So I'll just tell myself that I'm

Not a victim

But I'll own up to the mistakes that I made

I can see through it all

The world's never gonna fall back

Ask where you're at

Out with the old

Let the truth be told

Shape up, and stand tall

I could lie if you wanted

But in the night I think of all this time and all this space

And all the tracks in the dirt that we could retrace back home

I'm not alone

Don't put my story back on it's shelf

I was choked up but my tongue untied itself
