I remember we ran with abandon
laughing at anything that came close to excuses
regardless of snippy detractors,
we pressed hard
we were relentless,
always tomorrow, always another highway
to roam and find fun,
we were so young and carefree
who cared about curfews
or knew about responsibilities,
we listened to no one
and made our own rules,
no one told us what to do ...

so why am I now running inside my mind?
these thoughts just won't stop, it's much too loud
I'm way past petrified
I'm lost,
or have I gone mad with this non-stop dialogue
reality has snapped or have I?
the depth of this perception has begun to transcend
anything that causes conflict,
or feels like unrest,
has the trap been sprung
have these wings been clipped
has the song been sung
of nowhere to go,
it's out of our hands
you can't fight destiny making other plans...
