lyrics

seventeen and strung out on confusion
traped inside a roll of disillusion
i found out what it takes to be a man
mom and dad will never understand
secrets collecting dust but never forget
skeletons come to life in my closet
i found out what it takes to be a man
mom and dad will never understand
what's happening to me
seventeen and coming clean for the first time
i finally figured out myself for the first time
i found out what it takes to be a man
mom and dad will never understand
what's happening to me
