05.04.68 - Outsmarting Simon

Once we played hiding
And seeking
Games
Ran away
And
Opened our eyes
Prayed to
Fathers suns holy ghosts dreams of life beyond our sights
But can we keep our souls innocent
Not left behind
If not
We'll fade away
Disappear and all we see will be
Erased by time watch it go by
Watch it go by feel every grain of sand and I'll watch it all fly
Under my toes
Slip away slip away
And I feel every moment I'm losing
With the tide watch as we die
Can we see it changing everything
The lights dim with fading dreams disappear with pieces of non plastic playgrounds
Carried upon our sleeves and I swear everything that I've learned will probably just hurt me now
But everyone swears it will all be all right as you grow and give away yourself you will be happier
But everyone forgets who they all used to be
Lights dim with dreams carried upon our sleeves and I don't ever want to lose the smile on my face
But everyone is fighting to keep their eyes down
But I want to stare straight at the sun even if it kills me
But everyone is too scared to die
