IMPACT

[Verse 1]

The Christmas lights on my ceiling

Help distract me from dealing

With the childlike feelings

The nightly dark keeps on revealing

And I don’t believe in god but I'm twelve again kneeling

On a pillow begging for a way to start the healing

[Chorus]

Cause I never left that bedroom with those all white walls

The door opens to a cliffside and I just can’t fall

Cause my bones can’t take the impact, I grew too tall

Too fast yet, I’m still considered small

[Verse 2]

Read a twelfth-grade level at age tеn

It helped distract from all that was happening

Evеrybody moved on but I’m stuck back then

With the death threats, the police checks, and asking when

This god I don’t believe in will start my healing

I can’t stay on my knees but for this, I’m kneeling

[Chorus]

Cause I never left that bedroom with those all white walls

The door opens to a cliffside and I just can’t fall

Cause my bones can’t take the impact, I grew too tall

Too fast yet, I’m still considered small

[Verse 3]

I wanted the world, impossible to satiate

How is it early birds always learn to run late

Is the worm a reward or was it bait

Either way it makes you easier to hate

I swear to god they set me up for this fate

Saying “kid you’ll go far at this rate”

Then letting them rip into all that i create

And letting me stunt my growth at five foot eight

[Chorus]

My bones can’t take the impact

I grew too tall too fast

Yet, I’m still considered small
