come down come down won’t you get off the get off the
and i’ve run miles and miles trying to make the world
spin faster like it
would matter at all like i’d feel better if it did like i’d feel like i wasn’t the only one
the lonely one that ran as fast as i could as fast as i did as fast as i am.
i am only sixteen and everything is so much i am only sixteen and i want to be
so much i am only sixteen and i put the world on my shoulders i am only sixteen
and i am atlas who knew it would crush him but still wanted to be great it feels like
everyday i’m going as fast as i can with no time for a water break i am only
achilles without a patroclus i am invincible i am golden and gleaming and i am
only sixteen and i won’t let anyone coax me out of my armor and take some of
the legend onto their own shoulders i want that. but i do want that but there’s
no time for that there’s no time for that because i need to be everything at once
do you get it? i’m trying to be something here i’m trying to be the hero with the
happy ending because i’m going to be the one to do it if it’s anyone it has to be
me but i’m seeing a flaw in the plan and it’s that i am so tired and i am working
with everything at once and i am only sixteen and it feels like i
have to be much more than that. but i am so tired. and i am only sixteen.
