Goodbye

Can you hear me calling? 
Am I wasting time?
I can hear the echoes left with no reply…
Can you hear me calling?
Left inside my mind
What was once a fire
Now their embers lie, goodbye…

Where did you go? 
We used to be kids, now I feel so grown...
I miss being free to be me, not alone
I used to have friends, but we don’t talk anymore 

I guess that’s on me
I got busy
I used to drink soda
Now I switched to whiskey…

I didn’t want time to pass
But time is fast…
I just wish you were more than memories

I got kids now 
But I’m a kid now 
I haven’t grown in my mind, just my skin now
I don’t get taxes
I hate chores
I hate mail, bills, and miss the outdoors…

I feel like the air used to smell different 
The grass was greener and the summers were for swimming 
I used to play baseball every inning…
And now I work for a living 

Can you hear me calling? 
Am I wasting time?
I can hear the echoes left with no reply…
Can you hear me calling?
Left inside my mind
What was once a fire
Now their embers lie, goodbye…

I watch more podcasts and hear less music
My brain feels different and I don’t wanna lose it
I try to stay healthy, but I’m tired all the time
Cuz there’s too much on my mind…

Got into meditation
Just try to be more patient
Find a passion, a purpose, a reason to keep chasing… 
All the dreams that I had when I was a little kid 
Whatever happened to those dreams? 
Man they’re something that I miss! 

Maybe I should do this
I always loved music
Maybe I can find a way to make these dreams lucid
I really wanna try, cuz I might, have a chance before I die, to see the world with a soulmate by my side
Yeah that would be the life
Not a fucking 9 to 5
I wanna feel alive for a minute at a time
Let the kid out that’s been stuck, captive on the insid,
Who had dreams big things were gonna come from his life…

Can you hear me calling? 
Am I wasting time?
I can hear the echoes left with no reply…
Can you hear me calling?
Left inside my mind
What was once a fire
Now their embers lie, goodbye…
