Memorial Day

You let your youth go off
Turned every light down in your room
You felt the world and it was cold,
It broke your back took all you got
The noose around your neck
Made you float above the ground.
You wanted colors they turned black.
Nothing's new and nothing's found

Recognition of satisfaction.
A dusty dream left upon your shelf.
Climbing treetops just for the last time.
Collecting thoughts of December sky

The holes were dug just for you, you didn't know you'd taste the dirt
Now all the honesty slipped
Right Down the cracks of floors you ripped.
But it meant nothing,
You took the easy way you found.
The lights that you've seen, now forgot where you have been

Recognition of satisfaction.
A dusty dream left upon your shelf.
Climbing treetops just for the last time.
Collecting thoughts of December sky

Now it's the last time

Something real
feels so far away
They can't let go, so you let go off them
They can't let go
They can't let go
So you let go off them

You let your youth go off
Turned every light down in your room
You felt the world and it was cold,
It broke your back took all you got
The noose around your neck
Pulls you high above the ground.
You wanted colors
Now it's black.
Nothing's new and nothing's found
