Adam's Song
United States of Punk Lyrics

I never thought I'd die alone
I didn't expect to feel so isolated and disconnected from others to the point of dying without anyone by my side.

I laughed the loudest who'd have known?
Despite my inner turmoil and loneliness, I tried to mask it with a facade of fake happiness, but little did anyone know that I was really suffering inside.

I trace the cord back to the wall No wonder it was never plugged in at all
I attempted to connect with others but always felt like it was futile, like how I discovered that a cord was not plugged in and that was why things weren't working out.

I took my time, I hurried up
I always felt that time was ticking and that I needed to make something of my life, but at the same time, I was dragging my feet and feeling stuck.

The choice was mine I didn't think enough
I had the power to make decisions about my life, but I didn't give them enough thought and consideration, leading to poor choices and missed opportunities.

I'm too depressed to go on You'll be sorry when I'm gone
I'm battling with depression, and it's making it hard for me to keep going, but I feel like nobody understands, and they'll only start to miss me and regret not helping me after I'm gone.

I never conquered, rarely came Sixteen just held such better days
I always felt like I was falling short, not achieving what I wanted to do or be, and looking back at sixteen, things seemed so much better then.

Days when I still felt alive We couldn't wait to get outside
Back then, I felt like I still had a zest for life and was always eager to go out and explore the world with friends, and those days felt so vibrant and full of possibilities.

The world was wide, too late to try The tour was over, we'd survived
Now, however, things seem limited, and I feel like I've missed my window of opportunity to try new things or to make my mark, but I'm still alive and trying to continue on.

I couldn't wait till I got home To pass the time in my room alone
Even though I was eager to get out and explore the world, I always looked forward to coming back home and being able to retreat into my room, where I felt safe and comfortable.

I never conquered, when you came Sixteen just held such better days
Even when someone else came into my life, I still felt like I wasn't achieving what I wanted, and things still seemed better at sixteen.

Tomorrow holds such better days Days when I can still feel alive
Despite how things may have seemed bleak, I still have some hope for the future, where better days might be in store, and I can recapture the feeling of being alive again.

When I can't wait to get outside The world is wide, the time goes by
There are moments when the world seems boundless, and I'm eager to step out and experience everything it has to offer, and in those moments, time seems to fly by.

The tour is over, I've survived I can't wait till I get home To pass the time in my room alone
Even when things seem tough and I've gone through hardships, I know that I've made it through, and I still have my safe haven back home where I can recharge and regroup.
