living in the past

i need a place where i can belong
this alternate world is not my home
i suffocate here

the hollow laughs of the hollow men
embarrassing carnival parade
can’t stand more lights!

i don’t care if those times are over
i’m not going to live like everyone
i don’t care if those times are over
my future is living in the past

i feel like the touchstone
in a river of wounded hearts
what happened to our days
they used to be so full of life
in a different way

used to be so easy
used to be so good between us
words had a different meaning
the simple things were significant

i don’t care if those times are over
i’m not going to live like everyone
i don’t care if those times are over
my future is living in the past

even clowns don’t scare me anymore.
