Millennium Kids

‘Cause we are the helpless, selfish, one of a kind

Millennium kids that all wanna die

Walking in the streets

With no light inside our eyes

- Conan Gray -

We are the anonymous generation

Forming new opinions and thoughts

From our elders and parents

That don’t understand us

Or how our lives largely differ from theirs

We may be a bit self absorbed

And care too much about likes and filters

We may be selfish and needy

Our interests are fleeting

But we are loyal, loving and changing

There is a fire that’s brewing inside

That mental thing we’re all trying to resolve

But it’s new to us all

It’s our curtain call

Calling us forth to be stronger than the last

We all have our problems, I know

We’re all trying to stay afloat

Supporting each other until we can’t take the load

Our brains may be rotting

And screaming and kicking

Finding a way to break through

‘Cause we are the helpless, selfish, one of a kind

Millennium kids that all wanna die

Walking in the streets

With no light inside our eyes

Mental health and daily struggles

Of these teenage kids that would rather die

Depression and anxiety

Bullies and fighting parents

How do we seem alright?

Yes, we may be struggling in our own minds

We feel we’re dead inside

But we’re also strong and stubborn, one of a kind

Teenage kids that are faulting inside

We stay connected and strong

We fight to find an unseen lifeline
