It's a Bitch to Grow Up

It's been ten years of investment

It's been one foot in and one out

It's been four days of water shed

And I feel snuffed out



It's been thirty three years of restraining

Of trying to control this tumult

How I did invest in such fantasy

But my nervous system has won out



I feel done

I feel raked over coals

And all that remains is the case

That it's a bitch to grow up



I've repeated this dance ad nauseam

There's still something to learn that I've not

I'm told to see this is divine perfection

But my bones don't feel this perfection



I feel done

I feel raked over coals

And all that remains is the case

That it's a bitch to grow up



I've spent my life hovering above bottom

Thinking I can't survive what's below

But I've known through the kicking and screaming

That there was no other direction to go



I feel done

I feel raked over coals

And all that remains is the case

That it's a bitch to grow up
