I remember what we used to be
Swinging and climbing up every tree
That time when everyone would go outside just to play tag
Now all we got is 8 year old kids complaining about too much lag
And all those ballin' teenagers saying 'We got so much swag'
Now one of the only things you see
Is teen girls selling out virginity
25$ at one time you could've almost caught a taxi ride from here to Tennessee
I feel sorry for the next generation
Swag ballin' COD players running this nation
Now just give me one second of concentration
heavy intake of breath
Sorry, all the violence in the world has sent my mind through so much rehabilitation
I realized everything we thought was right was wrong
Simple math, it shouldn't have taken us this long
But it doesn't matter cause everyone's taking a hit from the nearest ****
These geniuses go and call others *******
Thanks, we're all mentally unstable and needed an excuse to be carted
To the nearest funeral home
Cause no one ever put us under loves dome
Ding ding ding we have a winner
Obviously the one without a ring on their finger
Forever alone because others see them as a sinner
When all they're trying to do is get another night's dinner
22 years from now we'll all be middle aged
Stuck in a job wanting to be uncaged
The worlds resources steadily going down the drain
An we're all stuck on a one way train
To hell or up above
That's when you wish you'd just been born a dove
Life's quite tough don't be late
It seems today is quite an important date
Though you've already come so far
One day you'll be crying in a bar
Thinking about your past when it was so easy
Every day the wind was cool and breezy
And you were swinging and climbing up every tree
I remember what it used to be

Worried, can't be.
Deception, without remedy.
Can't understand how you cope.
Under stating all my hope.
Single, Ray of light.
A dark world, with bright night.
I see how their lips curl.
From Heaven's gold, and Nature's pearl Everything and nothing.
I feel like I'm coming.
Back to a house.
No longer a home.
2 years of distress.
Your body has caused me.
Civil unrest.
No longer can see.
Wish all was perfect.
Not just a dream.
With your deep red cardigan.
I still can't start again.

She said she loved getting lost in the music
What no one realized was that she released the music from inside
And that it wasn't really music
It was her life
But to her it sounded like music

Though every drop of music that poured from her body
Took away parts of her life
She felt more and more alive

Because there is no fear that way
No pain that way

Everything is nothing
And nothing still amounts to nothing

But then he said,
'Existence has serious side effects.'
She didn't know what he meant
He didn't know what he meant


Then her music stopped
And she knew what he meant

Because she was the whispers that float in with the tides
And the stars that  glow like a candle, though they have been long since blown out
And she was the thought that consumed everything in his mind



And she was also the white door with the brass handle.

You were an ocean
Coalescing like fireflies
And I don't understand
How your lips
Are painted like
Frozen lakes
Because your voice is truly
That of an angel
Come back to me
More than just
In Dreams

we all know
you've got a sacred heart
13 years you've been gone
and she still falls apart
oh i know
you did what you could
a couple thousand feet
they said "everything could never be this good"
you smell of smoke
and final goodbyes
now your hands have broke
and you've closed your eyes
