I've been thinking bout the things that never sleep
And the weeds that have roots that run too deep
They're in my head, they're on my mind, they make weak, I'm such a creep

I've been too sad for way too long
I'm way too young to be too tired
To wake up and smell the roses
But there aren't many roses left

I'm kinda jealous of the boy in the picture
I miss the look in his eyes
The one I don't recognize
But I still hate his guts

I want a smile like the boy in the picture
His friends are still in the picture
But mine hate my guts
Picture boy, I hate your guts

Friend,
we're in the same shoes
Matching socks and matching attitudes
Our attire is for the the stressed
The way we dress just screams depressed

That's just like you
Hairs a mess, the ends are splitting
Hoodie off, I keep forgetting
to tie my shoes, laces left loose
I'm the reason I'm tripping
But picture boy, you're the reason I'm dressed in black

I'm kinda jealous of the boy in the picture
I miss the look in his eyes
But I still hate his guts

I want a smile like the boy in the picture
His friends are still in the picture
But mine hate my guts
Picture boy, I hate your guts

Sometimes I want to meet the boy in the picture
The one I cant recognize
He lived in paradise
And I'm a fool in your eyes

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever see him again
Will I ever be him again?
Picture boy, I hate your guts
Picture boy, I hate myself
I wish I was a picture boy too

Anyways, I wrote this one last night.
At midnight.
Like the weirdo I am.

"Picture boy" just means the version of you in old pictures taken years ago, a point where you were happier, or life was simpler, or you didn't have to grow up yet, etc. It may not be very relatable because of the part where I say I hate their guts, but I personally do hate the person I use to be, even though life was simpler.

Let me know if you want to know more, or have any feedback

Thank you for reading :)
