They say look alive sunshine
try to fight, sunshine
but they've been gone for many years
They say don't ever let the sun set angrily looking for a darkened sunrise,
awaiting mornings of forgotten fears
Reminiscing on the old and lost
throw memories into the garbage, unnecessary, stopsign goodbyes.
We understand the world they never had
struggling to reach out to the past to things that didn't last,
resurrecting the heart of long forgotten fads
Searching for scraps to bring back
desperately piece life together
everything in us blown
society stressing on what we lack
like an ugly quilt we are all stitched, mismatched, and sewn.
Constantly feeling like my heart is in tatters
always so worried
as if any of this matters
When all the walls come down
where lost hope is found
the deep sky above where we'll maybe someday go
where we can live peacefully
no longer meeting loveless ground
no longer trapped in our own defeating bounds.
The key to living is to throw away all of your shameful ways
all your dark yesterdays
toss them into the deepest waters
and watch as they become forgiven, erased
or all together completely replaced
Bring back your happiness
just let yourself exist
dont you forget that you've got the hidden strength if you're willing to try to persist
Be cautious in your wandering, no one else knows what your past is
dont let yourself be a sad and lifeless meance.
The days can be gone
but at night you'll see the stars,
you can dream or walk along
if you pay any attention you might find out what truths you've been moshing on
In the city streets
empty save for the echo
a long forgotten song
something a torn and apocalypse ridden world will never ever decide to let go.
we'll carry on.
