BROADSIDE LYRICS

"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.
