about

I was 17 once, and I wrote about things that 17 year olds write about. It took me 5 years to get this song out. It doesn't suck, in my opinion.

lyrics

The tragedy of being 17
and bored to death
hoping for another chance

to get out of this town
if I stay, i'll surely drown

I'm always running away,
I'll turn my head
anyway, away from consequence
all my mistakes
they're coming for me,
and ill keep on running away

It's the tragedy of being everything
they want and more
So go on and sell your soul,
