damaged kids

i remember 15 years old at the edge of my bed, as joy division's "closer" spins, i slowly drift off in my head, i swear i died a thousand times, to the ballad of those teenage nights, the walls cave in, and i've lost myself again, don't sink cause i know it's tough, said you saw it comin' weren't prepared enough, you wanna doubt you deserve to be loved, but keep your head up i swear that you belong, isolation, it gets the best of me, the world progresses, while i'm chasing dreams, i question everything, before i dive right in, am i a recluse, or just a damaged kid, and even at 25, i find myself in silence, my shaking voice is screaming out, but i still prefer the quiet, all my friends moved on, or gave up on themselves, i can't commit to anything, except the words escaping my mouth, isolation, it gets the best of me, the world progresses, while i'm chasing dreams, i question everything, before i dive right in, am i a recluse, or just a damaged kid, we're all just damaged kids, don't sink cause i know it's tough, said you saw it comin weren't prepared enough, you wanna doubt that you deserve to be loved, but keep your head up i swear that you belong, isolation, it gets the best of me, the world progresses, but i'm stuck in these dreams, i question everything, before i dive right in, am i a recluse, or just a damaged kid, we're all just damaged
