Twenty One



Twenty one the only son,
Figuring out how this race is run,
While the road is slipping past below my feet.
On this road so unforgiving,
Where no one’s ever giving,
An outdated simulation,
That can’t withstand the heat.

I heard its “twenty four there’s so much more”
Of this life we once adored
But brother I am slowly falling to my feet

They lied to us about the creatures on the streets,
They lied to us about the creatures on the streets,
Don’t ever think you’re special,
You are nothing special,
Seven billion people look down at their two feet.

Darling I’ve been broken, I’ve been broken for so long,
On this leaky ship that’s sinking, twelve miles off the shore.
But you gave me life and you gave me love
Now I’m swimming back for more
In this dampened light of dawn
Again into the fore.

Now I’m coming back
I’m coming back for more,
I’ve found my way ashore,
To fall.
