The innocent lifetime flickers and flashes
No, nobody seems worth it
And while the feeling's sophisticated
The view is so restrained
The past is nearing closer and closer I fear
So let's just cut the bullshit
And tell me who's independent
Thumbs twiddling and your life's escaping your mind
Well the air ain't free as it used to be
But that's quite alright when you're still eighteen
And I'll tell you who's overrated
What's a beautiful person with some hideous dreams?
And while the lining isn't silver
We're verging on the side of the road that'll take us home
The edge of us is getting weighed
Read about your life in your local papers
Realize the end of us is getting near
You're just a droplet of paint trickled off your canvas
Delirious illusions flowing backwards through the river of color
While we analyze it to try see it clearer
Secretly appealing to a lonely prisoner
Initiate your shading, blend the universe together in time
It only gets a little easier
Suddenly piece yourself back together now
