Blowing out the candles at thirteen
A new flame resurrected, new routine
On a constant search
Looking for who i'll be
Gripping the ingredients
Now tell me whats the recipe
I'm dazed and confused
Following the peers around me
Feelings feel the same graduating elementary
A high school dream
I'll be better than i'll ever be
So hypnotizing
All these elements surrounding
My thoughts speak loudly
My words ain't sounding
I keep it all in so my head keeps pounding
Resort to the drugs cuz' i need a vacation
Party invite, alright, i'll accept it
Doing anything in my power to be accepted
Me, Myself, and I
We been feeling neglected
Accepted
Only when my palms grip the alcohol
And only when the buzz has an answered call
Look
All these little youngins' they be falling under pressure
And everybody listening I hope that you play life different
Temptation is a game that could sway your whole vision
Promise once you overcome it
You'll feel stronger, feeling lifted
Yeah
Ain't no lighter to get it, no
Ain't receptive to hating, oh no
Ain't no stress that be building, no
From that teenage emotion
Escape with a taste of that paradise
Escape with a taste of that paradise
Take me to paradise
I need to
Escape to a better life
Take me to
A place I cannot describe
Help me through
My reality don't feel right
Oh, take me to paradise
Take me to paradise
I need to
Escape to a better life
Take me to
A place I cannot describe
Help me through
My reality don't feel right
Oh, take me to paradise
