The Old Days

Oh, I missed the days where we laughed and played

In that endless green space

The Friends I’ve made

In that Magical place

Then they called us back in

No time to waste

Put in boxes and cages

The walls of grey contained us, restrained us

Till we were nothing but husks

Those I knew forgot our

Magical adventures in neverland

For they grew up

No longer the lost boys I knew

I still remember the days of the past

Before the expectations

And all the different iterations

This is no way to live

All I've done is give

But, is it really giving?

When it’s taken by the unrelenting 

Whatever's become of my true home while I've been gone?

Did more walls rise to meet the sky?

To meet expectations

To rip off the wings of a new generation

Stifling their cries

And ripping them out of the skies

A dangerous cycle to begin again

For I wish I could stop the inevitable
