The First Place

Drowning in the noise
Cauliflowered girls and olive skinned boys
Rules that just won’t bend
Monuments erected like follicles
Infected like my inner thoughts and letters I once sent
It’s the changing of the guard
Wishing on the sun dried star for someone to lead you to my grave
Messengers are shot before
Passengers calling for redemption
The reason to pay
Did you send me in?
Well games begin
Did you take me back?
Just to prove the fact
That second chances leave us lonely in the first place
We got pillars of defeat
Separate piles for you and me to sift through
To send us on our way
It’s the changing of the guards
I’m wishing on a dying star for someone to lead me to your grave
Did you send me in?
Well games begin
Did you take me back?
Just to prove the fact
That second chances stand on ice so thin
Break the wheels we could spin
Only leave us lonely in the first place
