You ran so fast / to get right where you are / you look around and wonder why / you ran so fuckin' fast / all the friends you took for granted / childhood memories all brushed away / just for the sake of expectations / i won't live my life that way / peer pressure is just prophecy / we are doomed to live out / i won't waste time on intimidation / i don't care if i'm cast out / high school kids just like the year before / not struggling in academics / but setting new standars of who can drink more / it's not their fault / that's what they've been taught / but the biggest war will be on themselves / and it's one that's never fought / and won / i've won / i know you scared / because i'm scared for you / you promised yourself something / and never followed through / and the prophecy comes true.
