"WHEN WE WERE YOUNG"

 "WHEN WE WERE YOUNG"

When we were young

And pretty

Now old and life is shitty

It's a shame

Life was just a game

All threads are torn

Like the ligaments

And bone

Oh! we forgot

That we were born

With a promise to be gone...

Life was a one act play

We forgot that the curtain was drawn

No promise of a second act

That was an untold fact...

We were out at the first run

       But kept having fake fun

No bail was allowed

       In a jungle or a jail

Losers and winners

        Success and failure

No difference in a strom

         Oh! we forgot that we were born...

In a moment

The wind blew

And the autum leaves were all torn...

Nothing remained in the mirrors of shame

        It was a game

It was a game...

Some played it well

        Some were amature

Many different kinds were born

         That's for sure...

What was the meaning of this experiment?

             The journey wasn't of meriment...

But when we were young and pretty

            We never knew

Life would be so shitty?

Flowers bloom

      Then wither

Leaves fall

      Then return

Seasons go away

       Then come back

But alas!

            We forgot

That we were born

           To be finally gone...

And never to be born again

            But we were young once...

And so pretty

Wish we went then...

          When the youth was ripe

Like a juicy plum

            We became old

And life took a different shape...

             It escaped

It escaped...

We forgot that we were born

           To be soon gone...

Finished our first act

            And became extinct...

Curtain fell

              And the darkness came

House lights were turned off

           And we were never to be heard again...

But we always remembered 

             That we were born

With a solid promise to be gone...

               If some one wrote a second act of our existence

We would have to come back

               After we had our brandy

To show once again

               The expertise of our craft

To make our play live for ever....

               But alas!

Life was only a one act play

             To get old and wither away...

This eternal fact

          Was never revealed at our birth

Oh! we forgot

           That we were born

To be gone,  gone for ever...

            Who will feel sad for us?

That question remain...

           Our ashes were thrown at the sea...

The waves will come back to look for me.

The waves will come back to look for me.

The waves will come back and look for me.
