Past, Present, Future

by mal-brown

We look back on the times We climbed trees and Felt like we were flying When we jumped out We look back on barefoot nights And roaming our streets Looking for lighting bugs To trap in jars We look back on the tears We shed when corporate men Tore down our forest homes And destroyed our last shred of hope We sit in our rooms now We go to bed at four We wake up at the same time We don’t speak very much We see each other around Only sometimes though And we exchange glances We know the games too well Talk and we sometimes stop We talk about how she went crazy And how he got arrested for drugs And how we all got fucked from society We dream about our lives 10, 20, 30 years from now We all dream about a reunion But we only see the issues about it No one can stand the silence But we can’t imagine it breaking We all want to make up We all want to run the city together But the times have changed And that won’t ever stop Because our futures are too bright Why would we quit now? Sometimes dreams are all we have We dream about the past We dream about the present And we will forever dream about the future
