all around, pictures of craters with crooked necks and teeth hands glued to glass sweaty palms gaping through windows walk slow with cement for feet straight cautious steps paperweights taking up space littering sidewalks and streets still so empty boy you wanted to see everything from above and you can’t picture it any other way now you’re fastened to the ground stuck looking up and you can’t help but feel like you’ve been misplaced your life’s not half bad shouldn’t you be thankful for that that it’s only half time has passed but you’re still the same pushing it aside waiting till it’s too late forgetting faces, making this one count turn for the worst, won’t turn it around this life is finite, it’s days are numbered was it something less than intended you’ll figure it out along the way this life is finite

so fast that it all blurred the days and nights with no end lines and lights outstreching i’m always stuck watching where you’ve been one point to last we’ll make due with what we have we moved too fast we’ll get lost without a map taking turns taking turns to forget where we’re from every direction is something new when you’d rather die young tired of the same old bruises of being content with content and if it won’t come to us then we’ll have to go to it we have our youth and everything we need never stop moving or get used to routine we don’t need anything else if we get lost, make maps ourselves the most important things i owned i sold to you i dug my hangs in pockets until there was nothing left with all that you have what’s keeping you here our lives entwine, but i won’t contribute to your fear

i can see how this will end in a cloud of dust in a filthy war i can see how this will end where we’re still clinging to whatever we can find and all of this i’ve been through before is a page that’s been torn from that same old story and we’re desperate we’ll tear down the shelves to read a different ending keep your head down, don’t let them see you just rest here keep your hopes high, it can’t be much longer now can’t wake up so we sat and waited for it to pass i’ve been growing old in these trenches waiting for the white flag to be waved well i’ve been playing it right right from the script waiting for the same cue to slow and just stop all the lines of my face are filled with dust and oh how i’ve learned to sleep so well in dirt all the things i said i meant, but i wasn’t sure all the words we never kept, but we had to say it was never a secret we never kept it quiet we said what we said and we’ll say it again this isn’t home and all of this i’ve been through before is a page that’s been torn from that same old story we’re desperate and we’ll tear down the shelves to read a different ending now i’m climbing up and getting out, i’m going home
