A little boy once told his mom
"I will never visit a gay bar."
Later in the future he became a two-headed turtle
Attack helicopter was too mainstream
Even though he had a dream to fly into space
He's now a zookeeper and animals love him.

Sunshine, cigarettes and amphetamine
Laid down between the rail trails
Bathing in the rays of our minds
We thrive and try, alas to no avail
We pray to stay relevant but fail
What a time to be alive
And all you can say,
Why do they cry.

Why indeed
Some may think it's greed
Pointing out what's happening
Around the world, millions of miserable people
And you who have everything they need
Still unhappy, still jealous
Restricted by your religion, your selfish beliefs

Supremacy takes priority
Who cares about minority
We're more qualified, there's no privilege
Come out of your realm of fairy tales
Only when you face the truth
Will you be able to.

Able to stop complaining
Blaming others for your misfortune
Yet it's a torture
Proportion of the magnitude
Prelude to the future awaiting you
It's true.

We all live under the same same sky
But consider that maybe yours is blue
While others are pressured by the gloom
Given no room to enjoy
Things you take for granted
And it would be blatant to say you never wanted
Because you don't know any better
How it would feel without it.

I've had enough
Now i stand up
Facing towards the bullet train
Forget about the pain
Veins full of *******
And as you move forward
You'll find the direction to the answers you were looking for.

When we were kids, we would laugh
Run up and down the stairs
Bother the neighbours, stay awake twenty-four hours.
Remember, we had our own kingdom,
Though we were just servants to the one we admired.
That blonde haired girl from the first grade
I think everyone had a crush on her but it was us,
Who she spent most of her time with.
Gradually we grew up and our games became more adult-like
I could tell you were prefered, yet it was me who really fell for her.

Then there was that night at the lake where she confessed
Came in your tent undressed, i remember hearing her footsteps
And how she ran away getting rejected because of our friendship
Well, it was more than that for you.

She never returned, it was believed she drowned in the lake
I erased that part of myself, how i felt when we found out.
Lately, it's been coming back to me
I keep seeing her in my dreams, repeating that night
I don't know how to make it right, how to make it stop.

It's a shame how things have changed
Now we pretend still being friends
I know you're happy with your boyfriend
Sometimes i just wish those days didn't end -
I'm going now,
She's inviting me for a swim.
