• Sitting outside on your porch
    Drinking lemonade
    Thinking nothing more
    Back in your day
    All they'd say,
    Of course,
    Was everything,
    Bright lights,
    And screams
    Turning out so dark?

    Now that you're older
    You'd think you're the wiser
    But really all I see
    Is an old man
    Who could never think

    Yes, as a child
    You never thought
    Your plots, through
    Crawling under cars
    Wishing upon stars
    You'd never know that you
    Have to join the army
    Responsibility,
    Struggling,
    Helping out your family

    If they were here,
    They'd joke about your ears
    How you can barely hear
    Asking if you remember
    That news in September
    Germany invaded
    But memory has faded

    Now that you're older
    You'd think you're the wiser
    But really all I see
    Is experience
    And company

    Walking down the street
    Getting lost
    Hoping
    That someone finds you here

    Breaking down
    Crying
    All alone
    Yet surviving
    Had a dream
    Of your siblings
    While they sleep
    Slowly breathing
    And you sing
    Softly:
    "Has my life really come down to this?
    Forgot your names
    And all I know is
    Life isn't a game,
    My friend,
    So this is the end
    This is the end."
