I used to think we were unstoppable, unbreakable.
Used to think we could conquer mountains.
Just as long as we were together; you know?
It was a good feeling, do you remember it?
Like we were at the top and only the stars were above us?
You’d think that we would’ve realized-
Once we’re there, there’s only once place left to go.
And that’s down, down honey.
Watch what you got; beliefs, a heart, maybe even yourself?
It’s a world when they’ll chew you up, spit you out.
Without rhyme, reason, or doubt.
Pack your bag, throw it in the car.
We’re outta here.
Back to being unbeatable and incorrigible.
Back to the basics and the only thing left-
The Beginning.
You remember that time? Don’t you?
It was a long time ago, eons and eons it seems sometimes.
Maybe you don’t.
You might’ve left too soon, broke away at the wrong moment.
So what happened anyways?
It’s hard to think fast enough to catch anything nowadays.
Forgive me for ignorance, as it is a sin.
But tell me, where’d you go?
Seems like I’ve been searching for the answer so long
I forgot to ask.
Maybe you could tell me?
I don’t think you will though, you’ll leave it to me to figure out.
That’s how it always is, always will be.
I remember that time.
A moment when we could look around us and say:
“Yeah, this world is ours.”
“Nobody’s gonna drag us off our throne.”
Now what do you think?
A sudden ripping of wounds, like a dog gone feral.
Don’t you know they dragged us off our thrones for that?
Together we were unconquerable, unbeatable, strong.
But now what little renegade?
Just drop the other and forget we ever met?
Not as easy as it sounds, you know.
I’m not the type, nor will I ever be, to forget.
Maybe I was naïve to think we could make it.
Maybe there was some ignorance that never should’ve been there.
Trust, perhaps.
Stupid though, I’ve realized that.
Never should’ve thought everything would just fall into place.
Because instead I just watched it fall.
Right down around my shocked head.
It would be lying to say I’m okay with it now.
It’d be lying to say I understand (and I have lied).
And it would be lying to say I expect you back.
‘Cause you’re gone, baby, gone.
So I’ll stick to saying I think I’ll be okay.
I’ll stick to having faith that I will understand one day.
And I’ll stick to the hope you will come back.
Because I’m one of those unfortunate souls who’s always open to hurt.
Masochistic, some would say.
It’s not that though, it’s only because I remember.
I remember a lot of things, more than I should.
And I hope for a lot of things, more than I should.
Of course we should’ve expected this.
I mean once you’re at the top, there’s only down that’s left, right?
Even Alexander fell, as will we.
We can only be young once.
Indestructible and unshakeable as we are;
God knows when to bring us down.
…Still… do you remember?
That feeling of impervious, eternal spring?
Do you? Do you?
I hope you do.
‘Cause I remember.
