Growing Up Emo

I grew angry in a worthless little town All the postcards that you send me only serve to bring me down And I know I'm being negative, but everything's a bust 'Cause I'm thinking of you constantly, a little thing called trust Why are you sad when everything's so full of light? Why can't you let me ease your pain another night? I woke up early every day of middle school An alarm set for 5:30, wearing band shirts like a tool And I miss that sense of purpose but I sure don't miss those friends Every social interaction, just a means to someone's end Why are you sad when everything's so full of light? Why can't you let me ease your pain another night? Our eyes are open but somehow we're flying blind And our thoughts keep straying back to all the friends we left behind While they're growing up and aging in their dirty little town We're turning our attention back to what we're burning down Why are you sad when everything's so full of light? Why can't you let me ease your pain another night? Why are you sad when everything's so full of light? Why can't you let me ease your pain another night?
