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
