I feel in me the changing times
Aging perpetual in my soul
Round the known forever binds
Time persists, ever unfull

The thrilling feeling disappeared
Of what was once both strange and new
Now lays limply bland and bared
It's sugary whispers now untrue

The moments carving lasting scars
The hours wasting away the day
Like a fire burns and charrs
Unaware of the price they pay

They once were the young and blind
Running through the vivid lands
Colors fierce some in their mind
They never even stood a chance

It ripped away our youthful face
Showed us the truth behind the mask
It let us finally know our place
That nothing stays; nothing lasts.
