Colossal Youth

Pacing slowly back and forth
I just got scolded for the worst
Thinking to myself am I to blame?
Father tells me what to do

Mother tells me how to feel
These days I wonder if I'm alive
Stop, stop what you're doing to me
Can't you [A7see how it makes me feel?

I need to [C7]grow
So stop, stop what your doing to [C7]me
Can't you [A7see what I see
I need to [C7]grow

Can't have freedom, can't have taste?
Can't I grow my [A]hair this way?
Why do you [A7tɾy to [C7]tell me this is wrong?
The less you [A7see the more you [A7care

When I'm home you're not there
I am youth but I see it just the same
Stop, stop what you're doing to [C7]me
Can't you [A7see how it makes me feel?

I need to [C7]grow
So stop, stop what your doing to [C7]me
Can't you [A7see what I see
So I will stop!

Stop!
Stop, stop what you're doing to [C7]me
Can't you [A7see it at all
So stop, stop what you're doing to [C7]me

I don't feel anything
I don't even see it all
So here I sit all [Em]alone
I'm not even fully grown

But there is so much I would like [F]to [C7]say
I tend to [C7]talk endlessly
About all [Em]that comes easy to [C7]me
Youth speaks now but I may end up being

Something huge someday
