Sit on the porch where I grew up Spinning tales of losing luck All those days of trying to focus on the time Hard to decipher what we see Making plans and wasting dreams In a haze of unclaimed causes forced to give up early
(*2)Tell me this world is out of reach Tell me I don't have to grieve For the idealistic reasoning that cures all longing We never grow in times like these Forced to censor all our speech Cutting words and lines til every thought is false and empty
You tried to take advantage When I was in distress You turned me into something I’ve never cared about Hopeless and set up for a fall if you care when things go wrong
Our hearts never beat with ease Told to pause everything we feel And just go on living
The way we used to be I will not fall back on these Shattered plans and hopeless dreams
