Eve Of Maturity
SPOKEN:
Take six
I mean at this point
I'm gonna take what I can get
Okay

[Opening]
It's hard for me to admit I miss the girl I left in sixth grade English
The kindergarten girl playing right outside at recess
I don't know where they went though I have tried my best to find them
Could say that I don't need them but we'd all know that I'm lying

[Verse 1]
There are memories of who we were
But who we are is far from there
And I can't stand remembering the days
We'd play pretend by the trees
It seems like distant memories and I can't seem to make them go away
I don't live in the past but I sure visit there a lot
I'm not ashamed of who I am but I'm sure scared of who I'm not
What have I taken from my youth?
And what have I left there to rot?
I'm just so sick of feeling old look at all the time I've got
[Chorus}
We're on the eve of my maturity
So try to have some empathy
I promise you I'm fine
I'm just so scared of what I'll find
So please don't ask me where I'm going
I really just don't know
I'm a newly potted plant and no one taught me how to grow

[Verse 2]
There is broken glass all on the floor
The mirror's cracked and I'm not sure if prefer to see myself this way
A broken mess just like real life
The schoolyard causing me this strife- has put my broken shards up and display
I'm not saying that I'm hurt just that I am so confused
All the facts that I've been learning the world says they're of no use
I am an expert in the scantron is that how an office works?
Wanna follow all my dreams
But empty pockets seem to hurt

[Chorus]
We're on the eve of my maturity
So try to have some empathy
I promise you I'm fine
I'm just so scared of what I'll find
So please don't ask me where I'm going
I really just don't know
I'm a newly potted plant and no one taught me how to grow
[Outro]
I don't see who I used to be unless it's in a dream
But I don't seem to have those anymore
I don't see who I used to be unless it's in a dream
But I don't seem to have those anymore
We're on the eve of my maturity
So try to have some empathy
I promise you I'm fine
I'm just so scared of what I'll find
So please don't ask me where I'm going
I really just don't know
I'm a newly potted plant and no one taught me how to grow
