The people I see, the young and the free They dance and they sing in blissful retreat. Their lives are a sample of pure liberty And mine an example of firmly fixed feet
I grew up alone, in this I am blessed I know of the darkness and it knows me best My friends I found waiting beside the far lights I wouldn't have seen them without those dark nights.
I feel like the fuse has already burnt. The engine backfired, old meat past expired I feel like a liar, pretending to be, pretending to see what it is they believe they are doing with their endless consumption and moving their only function, save but to breathe is to make our lives harder, or enforce beliefs.
The reality is, its in human nature to skip the sad memories of our bad behaviour and think of the times when we looked our best convince ourselves that we're flawless and blessed.
I won't have such good memories, for I hid in the dark. Shade like and skinny, and spared any romance. It's hard to see evil that's basking in light. So wait for the night and they'll dance, and they'll melt, and you'll see, those good memories weren't made by people like them. They were made by people like me.
