Do you remember the old neighborhood?
Spring serenades and winters charade?
Fighting the good fight.
The common enemy of responsibility and how we were fooled.
A decade under the influence,
still waiting on someday.
The future is here but the future never arrived.

Taking the lesser evil,
The least dishonesty and the tolerable hypocracy.

Heard you got married,
You gave up on dreams but you still have hopes on a famous corpse.
Ahead of your time and not really present at anytime.

You were "deep" until you realised it's just another hole.
Different until you found out it was just your role.

Yes it's boring and the tedium is exponential.
Who wants to live for eternity in line?

The virgin horizon and the rape of rubble for the homestead.
The atheist pope and purloined pilgrim.
Sacred still stolen.
