We Always Shrink

Why is the world like this Can't you see what one day you'll miss No because we are out getting high But on the inside we just want to die We go out with a friend But we are too insecure to let them in We steal and cheat But we are afraid to get punished and beat We try to feel great But we are told we are a mistake Yelling is all we hear Because family value decided to disappear We always shrink Because on the inside we care what others think
