21

Feeling my way out of darkness
I found myself in the spotlight of marvelous dreams come true
Feeling my way out of distress
I am bound to find you, locked up inside the tower of nightmarish blue

Looking forward to being twenty one
Haters gonna hate and lovers gonna love
A million battles of insanity I've won
Complainers gonna complain while I rove

Handsome hurts, but it's getting me a lot of unnecessary attention
Not to mention I'm hurting emotionally like an expert in detention 
Breathless because you and I disappeared out of the blue
Speechless because you haven't a clue what I've been through

Growing weary of being twenty
I wish I could be your true infinity 
Met up with regret long ago
I guess you really had to know 

Say something purely positive for once
Lift the glass in your freedom response 
Don't wanna be caught up in your love affair
Raise your glass and this feast here I will share

I guess I've left my heart 
At the wacko dance floor 
I guess I've left my brain's art
In the land of nevermore 

Yeah, you sure know how to make my day sunny today 
You sure know how to make my night more than okay
I pray this year, I will party with you and bump glasses all night long 
I must say, my dear, you sure know how to make things look right when they are wrong!! 

Kidding, let's sing a karoake song!!

We be singing off key
We be singing in glee
We be screaming in delightful joy 
We be yelling like an immature boy
We be celebrating for no reason actually
We be rejoicing profoundly, 
No time for being lonely
More time for being jolly in a jiffy!

My motives are to be by your side and make me happy like free rides 
Who cares who watches...who gives...
Love me and hold me harder until the tide of turmoil and trauma subsides 
They all scatter like roaches - chaos lives!

Let the drama of commotion begin
Again and again and again I reckon... 
I am really not a party type...
Nor am I a fan of smelling ripe!

I look solemnly at my reflection
I dismiss my shadow of rejection
Twenty one is the number I wanna feel 
Darkness is battling light for real...the struggle is real, but no big deal

Optimistic, yet nervous to say the least
Maybe, I might have alcoholic beverage feast
I probably won't be drunk off my ass
I have class like morning dewed, nicely cut grass 

I have climbed mountains to glance your way
I have hiked valleys and rivers all night and day
Being twenty one is gonna be an age of ups and downs
Being twenty one will be the privilege of smiles and frowns 

Maybe even success up in these towns!
Cheers to that and this with 21 crowns~
Wear dem upside down frowns
Stop being lame, ashamed clowns 

Finding my way towards the end of the tunnel 
I happen to zip my way through a star-gazing universe of future utopia 
Meandering through the tundra of a hundred labyrinths as well
I snap my fingers in impatient anticipation and notice I am already 21 - oh yeah!

Single and legal - oh yeah! (:
But, not in a naughty way - oh no! Bleh!
