Further from my widowed home
Take the road that sets into the sun
It wasn't perfect- not even great. A mediocre family stuck in bad straits. My life back then could be summarized by "miserable." We tried our hardest, really did, but there's only so much a person or two could fix. We survived our lives as best as could be. I learn to take little to be happy. I had to otherwise I'd just get disappointed.
But when I look back, it wasn't all bad. Sure some of the memories are pretty sad, but there were plenty of good moments too. My father was a determined man, and mother always had some plan. Together they could accomplish anything. If they'd been in a better place and not some hellhole without an ace then I'm pretty sure things would've been far different. But the past is passed and over now, and I'm no longer some young child. So I made do with whatever they gave to me.
Waiting for my skin and bone
To return and see what I've become
Through fire and trial they got their prize: the education they hoped would make me wise. A gift I learned to treasure and to keep. With that came the best of things: friends who didn't think me strange. Each one felt like a victory to me.
Little did I know how far we'd go while we were hanging out in the snow, or doing something crazy in the heart of spring. We became so connected, anyone who messed with one would end up dead when the rest of us appeared.
Then we learned we could play, and we learned we could sing. After one practice the idea came with a "ding!" We would start up a band. Get our own things to play. Travel around with our music and have our very own fans. Everyone thought it was a dream, but we knew we'd prove them wrong.
Summer has not yet been here
Though my days are long
It started with a flash and there wasn't a catch. We were doing so well I think it surprised us all. But we got our wish and revenge served in a dish. All those people who brought us down; well we sure proved them wrong.
My parents were pretty proud. Here I was with my own crowd. I could even get to college now if I wanted that. But I was young and blind because I passed that chance by. Instead I dedicated myself to our band. Although it's hard to regret, since I haven't had as much fun yet like those days when we traveled and played everywhere. They were fun and full of laughter. It was so cool. We were basically right on top of the world.
They were like my family, only more happy and free with much more sights to see. We got around and saw the towns and got to experience what life there could be. Never thought that it could end since I was with all of my friends.
Take me back to when the night was young
And another song was sung
But even highs have a crest, and soon I met the end of my best. Our band soon fell into disarray. Tensions rose while friendship dove to bury its head deep into the sand. Try as I might, I couldn't make everything right. Our arguements flew left and right while we were driven farther apart
Finally it came to a head, and I knew our band was dead. Where love and kindness had been there was only hate now instead. Now alone and ashamed, I went and buried my fame. Only memories of the past to remind me now. As bad as it went down, I can't look back with a frown. It was my life and I wouldn't give that up for the world, even if now it hurts.♦ THE PLAYER ♦
