Forbidden Fruit of Youth - Part 2
Part Two
When we were young you used to have a wit rarely challenged and a strength of passion no one questioned
Now you stress about the little things and you're seeming very anxious
You had beauty early on in our lifes before this happened
I ask myself what exactly was it that I imagined the future would be for us when age would play its catch up with the kids who gambled adolescence just to laze about mashing it up cos having fun was the attraction of another day in paradise of amorous desire for the girls who used to tantalize
And when the time came for us to grow up it was a sacrifice of adulthood because we stood alone and watched the parasites using advertisements to glamorize sex lies and war crimes like perfect master minds the whole time the selfish few trying to ruin all the manuscripts of knowledge that the elders knew with a grand design of reproduced illusions that they're selling you and we became a nation of depression drip fed the truth
So I can see why you're finding life so hard to do cos adulting is difficult and nothing's going right for you
Especially when ahead and then you start to lose and all you want to do is go back to relive your youth
