Genetic Lottery

I couldn't tell you where the time went

And I know I'm still young, but you'd think I'm dying

The way me and my friends talk

We spend more time reminiscing than we do ever existing

There are no new memories we want

Been through the wringer

Called it mature for your age

Like in the winter

When it gets dark in the days

Don't know if I don't remember, or if I just can't remember

I'm afraid there's no other way

So I fucked around, ill-prepared to find out

If I've wasted oxygen, time, and/or space

Hollow hand-me-downs

You felt sick to be proud

First of the family to die of old age

And when I'm brain dead

Would you still sleep in my bed?

Don't got much time left

Till the voices start to make sense

I think I've lost a whole lot, now that's including the plot

If I knew how or when this would end

Well, I'd be laying here

Too afraid to move till then

So I fucked around, ill-prepared to find out

If I've wasted oxygen, time, and/or space

Hollow hand-me-downs

You felt sick to be proud

First of the family to die of old age

Resolved to go on your own terms to prove

You had control over anything

Chose the most bold way to be brave

Said I don't understand, and I don't think that I can

How could you feel like you're better for it?

If this all helped you build character

How are you the best person I have ever met?

I have a feeling wherever you end up, you won't like where you go

You'd be too fearful of falling, but the lows are too low

The lows are too low

But give it some time, and you'll be running the show

And if you're in the room with me, you'd pick up all of my clothes

And if you're in the room with me, I hope you don't mind staying home

I don't understand, and I don't think that I can

How could you feel like you're better for it?

If this all helped you build character

How are you the best person I have ever met?
