Sentimental

I find myself thinking back to the times

When everything just seemed so simple, all ignorant bliss

When social interaction just sucked something fine

And the worst things were the first things that you couldn’t kiss

When thinking was simple, when nothing was evil

When everything went on its own merry way

The conventional means that we’ve learned through the years

Did us fine by the end of those meaningless days.

Taking a step back I can picture all the little things

That pleased me as a child, but the memories fade

The times are getting dark, I find it hard to get a spark

My fire’s getting weaker; reminiscence, a blade.

And if I stop to think, I realize I’m on the brink

Of something unbelievably intense and insane

I’m running to the other side, my family calls it suicide

I’m leaving though I know my life could go down the drain!

I miss the days when all was fine

We’d walk the streets to our own time

Still now those times are said and done

Now we’re left running from the sun

Delightful memories; cascading anniversaries

All lasting but a moment but remain in my mind

In the end it seems I’ve failed to see that though all the monotony

I’ve walked away with nothing, leaving me in a bind

And the sentimental values count for nothing in the long-run

If you’re looks ain’t up to snuff within the media’s eye

You can buy yourself a face, but lose your soul to join the race

It’s getting hard to keep the pace, you can’t erase, you can’t escape it, no!

I miss the days when all was fine

We’d walk the streets to our own time

But now reality has shown

That in the end, we haven’t grown

And now those times are said and done

It seems the worst has just begun

Those days, they used to be so fun

Now we’re left running from the sun
