I can still remember
|
||
|
|
The words and what they meant
|
||
|
|
As we etched them with our fingers
|
||
|
|
In years of wet cement
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The days blurred into each other
|
||
|
|
Though everything seemed clear
|
||
|
|
We cruised along at half speed
|
||
|
|
But then we shifted gears
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns
|
||
|
|
But even then, we should have stayed
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But we ran away
|
||
|
|
Now all my friends are gone
|
||
|
|
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved
|
||
|
|
Run away
|
||
|
|
But what are we running from?
|
||
|
|
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
|
||
|
|
Where have they gone?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Identities assume us
|
||
|
|
As nine and five add up
|
||
|
|
Synchronizing watches
|
||
|
|
With the seconds that we lost
|
||
|
|
And I looked up and saw you
|
||
|
|
I know that you saw me
|
||
|
|
We froze but for a moment
|
||
|
|
In empathy
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I brought down the sky for you, but all you did was shrug
|
||
|
|
You gave my emptiness a name
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And you ran away
|
||
|
|
Now all my friends are gone
|
||
|
|
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved
|
||
|
|
Run away
|
||
|
|
But what are we running from?
|
||
|
|
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
|
||
|
|
Where have they gone?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We're all OK, until the day we're not
|
||
|
|
The surface shines, while the inside rots
|
||
|
|
We raced the sunset and we almost won
|
||
|
|
We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went on
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And we ran away
|
||
|
|
Now all my friends gone
|
||
|
|
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved
|
||
|
|
Run away
|
||
|
|
But what are we running from?
|
||
|
|
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
|
||
|
|
Where have they gone?
