He never quite understood
The situations he'd been in, but
His eyes reflected
The decade of 1950s

Something between his muse
And him rose; it was cold
Every syllables that escaped
Their mouths became sharp

What once was a disease;
No cure was found–
Chaos reigned
Until 1955, everything changed.

Uncertainty was planted
In his mind–would he still be the one?
Anxiety's best friend
Was his muse and him

The climate fell apart
Just like their love–
But they just needed a break,
Both healed as the year came to an end.

He thought it was unfair
Love wasn't distributed equally.
Poverty rose in his heart,
Adressed as overreaction

Wouldn't it be boring
If Elvis wasn't born on the 1950s?
The decade he compares
Their lowest lows and highest highs

He'd go back and forth just
To understand the situations he saw
He'd go to the 1950s
Just to come back to the 2020s

It would be unfair to be blinded by
Nostalgia that wraps the eyes
Unfair to be blinded
By the smiles and not the agonies
