When we were young You towered tall
I copied You, followed you, All enthralled
How could I not? You stood for me.
You held me up When I would fall.
You were beyond All I could do
Hope I was more than brat to you
Time passes On, and our Differences grew

Something has frayed
Nothing has stayed
Of all of the ways
It used to be

I loved you then, I love you still
How you see The whole world, I never will
No, you're not bad, But you are wrong
Views that you hold Both harm and kill
You used to claim Moral high ground
Now it rings false Without a sound
Or can you not See the truth When it's been found?

 

Something has frayed
Nothing has stayed
Of all of the ways
It used to be

Is Injustice a word You'd rather ignore?
Do Facts hold no weight? Do you really need more?
Is science a con To smother your wants?
Are You the repressed of Illusory wars?
Or Maybe just that You Bought into a lie
That The Greed of a few Is Worth many to die
You believe all of this, But not me.
Why?

 

Something has frayed
Nothing has stayed
Of all of the ways
It used to be

 

Something has frayed
Nothing has stayed
Of all of the ways
