We thought we were so damn smart

Acting like we knew what’s up

Like we were in on the secret

Knowledge is far different than experience

In the world of immature emotions

Never would we admit that we were lost, just

Going through the motions of our newfound power

_____

Very quickly we found ourselves underwater

Aspirating on our ego and our need

Go further, we dared each other

I can do this, what can you do?

Now I can see us for what we really were

All powerful and awe-inspiring

Sad, starry-eyed little girls
