The Kids Were Wrong

Go to sleep, nothing's changing
I'll be right here by your side
Break the teens, colors fading
In the stillness of the night

You're thick skinned, but it seems
You're hiding in daydreams
Can't find our way to the light
Endless routine, after nights and weekends
We'll see daylight through the blinds

Drifting in a cold state
The blowing cracks of old days
Bodies slack, pressed beneath the hour in your eyes
Fingernails and cold skin
Your parents' bed, we lay in
Arms outstretched to emptiness, the space you left behind

Go to sleep, nothing's changing
I'll be right here by your side
Tear the seams, we're not aging
Beneath these trembling, starlit skies

You're thick skinned, but you know
It's beyond our control
Shadows gleaming through our eyes
Been living the past, dear
Be free from those dull years
We'll see daylight through the blinds

Drifting in a cold state
The blowing cracks of old days
Bodies slack, pressed beneath the hour in your eyes
Fingernails and cold skin
Your parents' bed, we lay in
Arms outstretched to emptiness, the space you left behind
