In my youth, I was promised life of adventure
Played as Link, Master Chief, and I saved Spira
Got the keyblade and killed Metal Gear
But in high school I just killed time
Life goes on and you learn how to accept it
Get a job, study hard, pick a career and
Race right to the finish line
Where those promises go to die, in time
Ooooo, oh no
Ooooo, oh no
Disappointment starts to take its toll
I wasn't born to die in a black hole
I promise you
Later on, I would learn I was no different
There's no town waiting for a verbose redhead
To appear with a sword in hand
And a heroine at his side
But it's really okay. It's really okay
I've learned to treasure my hourly wage
If I get killed, I can't load up a save
I'm not the hero type
Ooooo, oh no
Ooooo, I'll grow old
Disappointment starts to take its toll
I wasn't born to die in a black hole
I promise you
The truth is I'm nothing, I am a coward
I don't leave my dorm room unless I have showered
I don't smoke or drink, I don't go to parties
I lock my door and I stay inside
I miss when I was a child and my whole life was ahead of me
I realize I'm young, I'll learn to have fun
But till then I will soak in misery
Disappointment starts to take its toll
I wasn't born to live in a black hole
But I do
