Lyrics

The Kid I Used To Know

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Life is a voyage some people try to avoid it

I seek to try and destroy it, I swear I feel like a toilet bowl

Shitting on everything I’ve ever said or I’ve done

You told me this should be fun

Thanks for the talk, are we done?

This is my masterpiece, a tragedy, I wrote it myself

It’s full of irony and blasphemy it’s practically hell

But the perfect part about it is it’s all that I’ve got

I’m over wasting time in life trying to be something I’m not

'Cuz fuck that shit

Yeah, I don’t want be that kid

No, I’m not going to hang my head

And be another accident

So long

To the kid that I used to know

So long

To the place that I used to go

I’m not an R.I. p

I’m not another sick, sad tragedy

So long

To the kid that I used to know

So long

To the place that I used to go

I’m not an R.I. p

I’m not another sick, sad tragedy

Do you ever feel like you’re underwater?

Drowning inside like there’s no tomorrow?

Life gets tough but you should know

That I don’t plan on letting go

'Cuz fuck that shit

Yeah, I don’t want be that kid

No, I’m not going to hang my head

And be another accident

So long

To the kid that I used to know

So long

To the place that I used to go

I’m not an R.I. p

I’m not another sick, sad tragedy

So long

To the kid that I used to know

So long

To the place that I used to go

I’m not an R.I. p

I’m not another sick, sad tragedy

When the roof comes down

And I can’t get out

I’ll be in this house

So, shut your mouth

When the roof comes down

And I can’t get out

I’ll be in this house

So, shut your mouth

So long

To the kid that I used to know

So long

To the place that I used to go

I’m not an R.I. p

I’m not another sick, sad tragedy
