Teenage Anthem.

We don't care what you say, we've never really listened.

 

So, darling, what do you do

When you’re at the end of your rope

And you’re hanging above the glass

Of all your mistakes? 

 

Do you smile a wicked smile

And jump

Yelling that you’re willing

To bleed a little just

To, darling,

Just to f*****g stay alive

 

So lay it on me

Now

While we’re all

Feeling just a little too invincible.

 

Then maybe we can come together

As long as you, my sweet, are going

To promise

That when you see these trails of scarlet

You will run a nimble hand through the fire

And come out

Miraculously

Unburned.

Because, you have to see it,

You’re here for as long as

You fake it, honey.

 

So pass the drinks and we’ll sing along

Let the tide rise to our tattooed ankles

Maybe we’ll scream at the moon

Maybe, my lovely, we’ll do something stupid

Just to see that we can

Rise

After we push ourselves

Down. 

 

So we’ll be walking around

With words in our mouths

Hidden somewhere under the whiskey

We’ll be rebels

Baby, we’ll be rebels without a cause

 

We’re going to make these

Mistakes just to scream that we can

We’ll learn how to cry

So we can make a scene

Because, dear, how many times

Do I have to say

That

Honey

We

Are

Invincible.

Love it!

I really like this one :)
I absolutely agree with this; I used to feel this way more than I do nowadays, but I still get that "nothing's ever gonna happen to me" feeling quite a bit.
You wrote this well :)

i absolutely love this. Best yet, for me

Every generation's youth are the same, with slight adjustements of fad, communication device and fashion - but clearly this line "While we’re all
Feeling just a little too invincible." is a little bit of everyone before they reach a major setback in life. My fav lines were: "Hidden somewhere under the whiskey
We’ll be rebels"
