So now I am grown Still learning words To not have a mind of your own Can be so contagious Fuck following traces With all of my patience I'm tying my laces And heading for changes At days they tell us go and Do exactly what you're told So in the night we go deep down To seek the bad and fill some wrongs Oh, when it's dark and cold out Kids about to go out We don't need no grown ups And I might drown in all these sins But I taught myself to swim So I'm drifting through this ocean Letting go, tryna let go Of all of the things I used to know Everybody always wanna tell you something But they know nothing So I'm with the ones Those who outrun Everyone will push you away from what you want At days they tell us go and Do exactly what you're told So in the night we go deep down To seek the bad and fill some wrongs Oh, when it's dark and cold out Kids about to go out We don't need no grown ups And I might drown in all these sins But I taught myself to swim So I'm drifting through this ocean It's dark and I guess it's pretty cold now Consciousness is sold out Messed up by the grown ups And I don't know where to begin But I taught myself some things About drifting through this ocean Oh, when it's dark and cold out Kids about to go out We don't need no grown ups And I might drown in all these sins But I taught myself to swim So I'm drifting through this ocean It's dark and I guess it's pretty cold now Consciousness is sold out Messed up by the grown ups And I don't know where to begin But I taught myself some things About drifting through this ocean
