They look at me like I'm unfinished Like I don't know the weight of my own name Every word I speak gets smaller Just because I haven't aged They say you'll understand one day Like I'm blind instead of young But I feel everything too deeply I've known this ache since I was one I'm full of fire Full of questions Full of things I want to try But they call it inexperience When it's just another kind of sigh Welcome to the graveyard grown Where dreams go quiet one by one Where passion dies to pay the rent And hope gets buried by the Sun Graveyard grown, remember this It's where we trade our hearts for bones You don't grow up, you learn to mourn In the graveyard grown I see it in the tired faces In the way they learn to bend They don't hate me for my dreaming They just miss it in themselves They had stars once, they had hunger They had plans that felt alive Now they measure life in hours Just to barely get by They warn me like it's kindness Like they're saving me the fall But all I hear is fear disguised As wisdom after all Welcome to the graveyard grown Where dreams go quiet one by one Where love gets small, ambition thins And life becomes what must be done Graveyard grown, say it slow So you remember what you lost You don't grow strong, you grow resigned And pay the price and count the cost
