Lost in distant memories
Reliving the times in-between
Sun-bleached melancholy & broken dreams
Reverie in undertones
Disembodied echoes
Empty high school halls
—repetitive drumming—
Teenage games & rituals
Bleachers in sunset’s haze
—sun-bleached horizon line
Golden locks flow like amber waves
—peroxide-bleached highlights
Fading light begins to break
Floodlight soccer games
Victory—it slips away
Storylines left undone
Of teenage Americans
Raised in suburbia
All they know is anhedonia
