A Year Has Past
Nothing beats the summer breeze
The memories of the ones who leave
Lotus flowers smile at me
Saying this will pass, you’ll come to see
Walking in a forest with my shoes in my bag
Wishing I were leaving the town that I have
The year is almost over, and I’m still lying on the grass
The year is almost over, and I still step on broken glass
Pop another Valium
To soothe the attacks
My body’s stiff and stagnant
But now it’s turning back
I just want my mama
She levels out the sad
Wanna go back home
I miss what I had
I miss what hurt me last
My bedroom feels so rotten
As I lay on my stomach
I pray, I pray
For another
Just another solemn day
Oh, how I pray
For the world to spare some change
Please, lord bless my name
Question my camaraderie
Yes, I’m still attached
My mind is always cluttered
Still thinking of the past
I just want some stability
It lets me stay intact
Wanna go back home
I miss what I had
I often fantasize about the year
That left me cracked
Left me bawling tears
Getting high every day
Beach trips and smoking
Some ty friends
Who urged me to stay that way
It was nice while it lasted
Oh so fantastic
I thought everything would be okay
Everything will be okay
That’s what I say
That everything will be okay
That’s what I say
Now that I’m losing my faith
