lenore wtf - 2004 lyrics
[intro]
two thousand and a zero, four
(the days of yonder past)
(i feel myself yearning for more)
(but those nights can never last)
two thousand and a zero, four
(was just a little baby)
(now i open up the door and say goodbye to the old me)
two thousand and a zero, four
(as i drift towards decay, there’s an internal war)
(counting down the decades but still missing the good ol’ days)
(were they even that good?)
(time flies by when you’re having fun)
(but it seemed to go by the quickest when there was no one)
(since lockdown time seems to never slow down)
(i sing this with a hidden slight frown)
[verse 1]
they say that i am so young
(i didn’t feel young when i cried in the classroom)
(on the rugged, broken carpet)
(talking to the other children)
(petrified that if trump wins ’16, we’re all doomed)
they say i am so young
(i didn’t feel young at catholic school, stuck in this tight uniform)
(everyone uniform getting a rough printed booklet saying)
(“chastity is the way” and “pray the gay away”)
(my teacher, ugly crying, “god still loves us,” cool)
they say that i am so young
(i didn’t feel young when the world stopped)
(in my play rehearsal, sitting on the foot smelling floor)
(quietly whispering in each other’s ears)
(that school was shutting down for two weeks, two weeks my ass!)
(“yay, we get an extra+long march break!”)
(waiting years and years, people dying, while we just watched!)
[chorus]
born in 2004
i expected so much more but f+ck it
i still have a lot to be grateful for
[bridge]
my family and friends
getting dragged off stage when i was three for being a wee lil’ ham
traveling ’round the world, finding the words to express myself
summer camp, campy movies
the school musical
nerding out
hippie class
cosplay
middle school class of ’18
playing spin the bottle, refusing to kiss anyone
class trip to niagara falls
broadway, arts school
dying my hair for the millionth time
surviving getting hit by a car
hot tubs
making the yearbook
saying yes to my promposal
two proms
getting a graduation for the class of ’22
going to my dream uni
good grades
emo
seeing my fave artists in concert
pizza, so much pizza!
education
making an album
obsessions
riding the roller coasters
pride
getting a good summer job
clubbing
legally drinking
finally making more songs
[instrumental break]
[outro]
so here’s a goodbye to my teens, tweens, and childhood, much love
and for tomorrow
here’s to roaring, i’m 20 in the roaring 20s!
