Yeah i like the President, Fight me Grandpa


Fear used to be about spankings and being alone at night
Then it turned into skinned knees and mosquito bites 
After that it was the flu and getting kidnapped
Next it was boys, cats, and girl fights 
Slowly it became bullies and rejection, and the thought of having to start again



When i was 3 i was afraid of spiders
When i was 5 i was scared of scooby-doo 
At 8 i was afraid of not being perfect 
At 10 i was afraid of double digit numbers
At 12 i was afraid of blood
At 15 it was losing someone close to me 
17 and I'm still afraid of spiders 


Why didn't anyone warn me about homework
Why didn't anyone warn me about boys
What were you thinking when you told me to go upstairs 
You knew i would come back down 
What about that time we all almost died
I am never ever ever going camping again


Who gave you the right to decide who i do respect and don't respect 
Who said you could choose my hair color and the words i use 
I don't need you to tell me how to dress, We don't all have to look like pioneers 
I can drink caffeine if i feel like it 
Tell me how to live my life one more time and i swear ill become a democrat 
And don't you dare disrespect my President 



I'm scared that you might see this 
I'm worried your going to disown me when i become a democrat 
I fear the day that i do something i swear i would never do, just like you 
I'm already nervous about my wedding day
This is not ending how it was supposed to
I'm still terrified of spiders

Building Mansions In My Mind

Everything they ever said,
Everything they ever did,
Every lie they ever told,
Every promise they ever broke,
Was never going to make me give up.

They told me i was wrong
They told me i couldn't do it
They told me i wasn't smart enough
They told me to give up
They told me i couldn't do it.
Well they were wrong,
They wasted their time.
I'm building mansions in my mind.

This is the past
This is the future
This is the survivors guide on how to build an empire
This is intergalactic space
This is the holocaust
This is pain, regret, anxiety, unrealistic desires, and all of the above
This is love, respect, hope, and the fragments of a dream

I've built castles the size of Colosseum's
30,000 feet up i swear you gotta see them
I built a spaceship to reach my goals
I went straight to the moon, went to mars, went to venus

I'm not a game peace.
I'm the City that i built out of the fire they created within me.
I'm building castles in the sky.
I'm building mansions in my mind.
