Seventeen

Claiming absolution

To perceptions of the world

You believe

The evidence is clear

The truths you hold so dear

You'll always be the same



Seventeen

Trying as they might

To show you things

You think you've already seen

You have no axe to grind

It's just that you'll be fine

You'll always be the same

You're the same



Seventeen



Seventeen

Your hopes and dreams

Are pressed between the pages

Of your reality

The feelings are ingrained

You have no heart to change

You'll always be the same

You're the same



Seventeen



Seventeen

You'll never see it coming

When you blink

And then it's all history

The way you think will change

You'll never be the same

You'll never be the same

You'll never be the same
