The Lake - Earther

You willed them

Defeated

And I know better but

You made it look easy

Would my face be worth it

If all I’ve ever done Is feel afraid

That something might happen

And that hasn’t changed

What happened to my friend

Who dreamed of better days

Procrastinated

And distrusted the government

What happened to the days where all of our concerns

Stretched from my backyard

To the lake at your neighbor’s house

I saw what they did

To you

But I just couldn’t let you

Become what you hate

In them

What happened to my friend

Who dreamed of better days

Procrastinated

And distrusted the government

I know I should be proud of you

The world is a dangerous place

And I know that it’s selfish of me

But I just want you back to the way we used to be
