Damaged Kids (Lyrics)

I remember 15 years old at the edge of my bed, as Joy Division’s "closer" spins I slowly drift off in my head. I swear I died a thousand times to the ballad of those teenage nights. The walls cave in, and I’ve lost myself again. Don’t sink, cause I know it’s tough. Said you saw it comin’, weren’t prepared enough. You wanna doubt you deserve to be loved, but keep your head up, I swear that you belong. Isolation, it gets the best of me. The world progresses while I’m chasing dreams. I question everything before I dive right in. Am I a recluse or just a damaged kid? And even at 25, I find myself in silence. My shaking voice is screaming out, but I still prefer the quiet. All my friends moved on or gave up on themselves. I can’t commit to anything except the words escaping my mouth. Isolation, it gets the best of me. The world progresses while I’m chasing dreams. I question everything before I dive right in. Am I a recluse or just a damaged kid? We’re all just damaged kids. Don’t sink, cause I know it’s tough. Said you saw it comin, weren’t prepared enough. You wanna doubt that you deserve to be loved, but keep your head up I swear that you belong. Isolation, it gets the best of me. The world progresses but I’m stuck in these dreams. I question everything before I dive right in. Am I a recluse or just a damaged kid? We’re all just damaged.
