[music |Somedays - Regina Spektor]

I've been seeing all these memories
Of all the good and wonderful times
That we had when the hour glass was bigger
And the future was a lot brighter
The laughs were so much easier
The timing always beautiful and perfect
Now we are so breakable and
We cannot do anything to stop the damage
We inflicted from the changes to our lives
Throughout these poignant years,
Withstanding all the battles
Defiant tears rain upon your masquerade
Of faces from the past that haunt your every move
Like shadows on a distant path
From times when happiness was so certain
And everything was predictable
Now the game has totally deranged itself
From what it's original plan was to be
Now your heart is not always in what you do
And everyone around you sees the evidence
That you have been scarred by what was
And what never was
And you scare them all away
With your darkening eyes as you
Gaze upon your own upcoming life
Do you feel the freedom they say comes with this age?
Or has happiness abandoned you
Like it so often likes to?
