Good Riddance

Everything that isnt from my time and place
Just fades away
And I know its only my perception
That clouds the things I want to hear you say
All the years of desperation
Im like a child without the sense to dream
About a life of foolish pride
How can I illustrate
Annihilate it now
This is everything I am
But is it all youve ever grown to see inside
Like a broken mirror for my pride
And theres an emptiness I feel
And theres a silence to my dreams
These painful reveries
Still punctuate those tragedies Ive seen
Nobody promised that Id be down
Its like the savage side weve found
Conventions weve agreed to follow
Defined by safe obscurity
Applications balking at protest
We sequester and words divide
Would I resign if I broke your silence
And trampled myself down inside
And if I hold you in my dreams
How will I recognize your face
And your silent discontent
And will my heroes find me there
In another time and place
Will I regret the time we spent?
And all the symbols weve erased
Or the words we never traced
