I'm half awake at twelve I close these eyes again I'm half dressed at seventeen And I still keep them closed I felt half-dead by the time I turned twenty-one I don't feel alive at the age of twenty-two I might feel okay at twenty three I got overwhelmed like an empty shell That's waiting to get fired again I'm chasing dreams in the town where I grew up
I play with grenades in these dirty streets A hundred drinks, a hundred smokes, a hundred perfect times I got a bomb for reality Can anyone ever count on me? I tried to get it right on many sleepless nights It's an itch I cannot scratch It seems I wasted the last match
