A Parade

Long ago when I was young Full of life but still so dumb Grew up as a romantic Left alone a statistic As a man I crept within Yelling out for thicker skin What I was and all I knew Summed up as a bird that flew Easy to get lost in what's absurd Everyday it's a parade Lines of reasoning's become blurred Give me truth, something good Got caught up in randomness Lost again in happenstance Made my way, toward better seas Most of it felt like a dream Who I am is nothing new As cliché as my world view No more truth when lying works Just a fad with all its perks Easy to get lost in what's absurd Everyday it's a parade Lines of reasoning's become blurred Give me truth, something good Give me a look that says you care I'll take it and try not to stare Life is like a dream Close to true it seems What's real seems so false Like a cosmic waltz I will hide away Hoping for a day When I can express Everything's a test I'm the same boy I always was Fragile ego without much cause Wanted so much to be a name At the behest of being lame Learning how to be a good man But there's so much I don't understand Chaos may strike from outside But I've got some room to thrive I'm growing getting better Try to stop me see what happens Easy to get lost in what's absurd Everyday it's a parade Lines of reasoning's become blurred Give me truth, something good Easy to get lost in what's absurd Everyday it's a parade Lines of reasoning's become blurred Give me truth, something good
