all the grown-ups

where have all the grown-ups gone?
is there no one to tell me what's going on?
will I stop pretending I don't see it's a costume show?
who are we doing this for?
what the fuck?
why is everyone playing along?
am I missing something?
where have all the grown-ups gone?
the ones who knew why this was necessary?
were they ever there?
heloooooo......
where is everybodyyyyy.....
can we stop the charade yet?

what if you find yourself the oldest one in the room?
no one to look to but yourself.
no one to look out to but yourself.
no one to do this for.
take a break.
no need to come back.
