We're Just Kids
Call Me Karizma Lyrics

We're just kids killing brain cells
We are young and reckless, engaging in behaviors that are harmful to our bodies and minds.

Hurt ourselves taking pain pills
We are using painkillers to numb our pain, but they're causing more harm than good.

Bad advice makes good memories
Even though we make mistakes, we view them as good memories because they're a part of our youth and our experiences.

Every night forget everything
We engage in activities that make us forget our problems and worries, but it only lasts for the night and causes more harm in the long run.

Gettin' high, self esteem low
We are using drugs to cope with our low self-esteem, but it only perpetuates the cycle and makes us feel worse about ourselves.

Young and dumb, what do we know?
As young people, we do not have the life experience to make good decisions and often make mistakes.

Twenty five, actin' seventeen
Despite being older, we are still acting immaturely and making poor decisions.

I guess time is my enemy
We feel like time is moving too quickly and we are not making the most of our youth.

Where do we go, when we die?
We contemplate our mortality and the unknown afterlife.

Into the ground or the sky
We wonder if we will be buried or ascend to the heavens after we die.

I better live forever, yeah
We want to live forever so we can continue to experience life without the fear of death.

Me and you together, yeah
We want to be with the people we love forever and never have to say goodbye.

We're just people, who get high
We are human beings who use drugs to cope with our pain and problems.

To put our pain in the sky
We use drugs to try and escape our pain, but it only amplifies it and makes us feel worse.

It's hard to live forever, yeah
We know deep down that living forever is impossible, but the idea still appeals to us.

When we aren't together
We fear being alone and separated from the people we love.

And I don't wanna grow old
We fear growing old and losing our youth and vitality.

Scared to watch the time go
We fear that time is passing too quickly and we are wasting our youth.

See my parents getting older
We are noticing our parents aging and it makes us feel the weight of time.

Feel the winters getting colder
We feel the passing of time through the changing of seasons and weather patterns.

Used to play out in the snow
We reminisce on our childhoods and the simple pleasures we enjoyed back then.

Now I stay inside my home
As we get older, we become more isolated and less likely to engage in outdoor activities.

I want to be a better man but act like I'm still a kid
We desire to grow and mature, but often act immaturely and make poor decisions.

Never had a backup plan, never had that many friends
We feel unprepared for the future and lack meaningful connections with others.

I want it back, want it back, playing in the cul de sac
We long for the simple pleasures of our childhoods and want to relive those moments.

Everything was fun and games till grandpa had a heart attack
We were carefree until something traumatic or life-changing happened, causing us to re-evaluate our lives.

Mama had a drinkin' problem, daddy don't know how to act
We come from dysfunctional families that have not equipped us with the tools to deal with life's challenges.

But I'd rather have issues
Despite our challenges, we would rather have them than not have the people we love in our lives.

Than "I miss yous" when they're gone and that's why
We fear losing the people we love and would rather deal with the challenges that come with them still being with us.
