"R.I.P. 2 My Youth"

"R.I.P. 2 My Youth"
by The Neighbourhood

R.I.P. 2 my youth
And you could call this the funeral
I'm just telling the truth
And you can play this at my funeral

Wrap my up in Chanel inside my coffin
Might go to hell and there ain't no stopping
Might be a sinner and I might be a saint
I'd like to be proud but somehow I'm ashamed

Sweet little baby in a world full of pain
I gotta be honest, I don't know if I could take it
Everybody's talking but what's anybody saying?

Mama said if I really want then I can change it
R.I.P. 2 my youth
If you really listen, then this is to you
Mama, there is only so much I can do
Tough for you to witness but it was for me too

Tell my sister don't cry and don't be sad
I'm in paradise with Dad
Close my eyes and then cross my arms
Put me in the dirt, let me dream with the stars

Throw me in a box with the oxygen off
You gave me the key and you locked every lock
When I can't breathe, I won't ask you to stop
When I can't breathe, don't call for a cop

I was naive and hopeful and lost
Now I'm aware and driving my thoughts.
