This town is no the same without you. A haze has fallen Upon our tiny town filling the air we breathe They say it comes From burning trees As I walk down all these familiar roads sometimes with my eyes closed i no longer feel at home I hold fast To memories of our past Gallivanting down these streets Owning the night Like it was only our right The streets were once our home The surrounding trees our shelter The hot pavement our bed The stars our light Back then, We felt as if we were on fire Back then, We felt as high as the sky The world was ours And we kept our eyes wide open Now, I keep searching For familiar faces For familiar places For a feeling I felt once But now it is all extinct Like the dinosaurs Now it is all a memory I’m desperate to grasp Now, I stroll down these streets Alone My eyes are stressed In want of a sight I’ve seen Before I think I search in vain.

A Haze
This town is no the same without you. A haze has fallen Upon our tiny town filling the air we breathe They say it comes From burning trees As I walk down all these familiar roads sometimes with my eyes closed i no longer feel at home I hold fast To memories of our past Gallivanting down these streets Owning the night Like it was only our right The streets were once our home The surrounding trees our shelter The hot pavement our bed The stars our light Back then, We felt as if we were on fire Back then, We felt as high as the sky The world was ours And we kept our eyes wide open Now, I keep searching For familiar faces For familiar places For a feeling I felt once But now it is all extinct Like the dinosaurs Now it is all a memory I’m desperate to grasp Now, I stroll down these streets Alone My eyes are stressed In want of a sight I’ve seen Before I think I search in vain.
