Pride As We Live

I was born in the way

Quiet words are born

In moments lacking clarity

Filled with subliminal sound

Nothing new to talk about

Our parents took their time

Then they up and left 

With everything but the world

For us kids to figure out

And it was going so well

Until we sold our souls

For a small chance

To live and grow old

So we could see the pale light

Captured in one more day

Shed your wings

You're trying to fly

With naive, little feet

Planted firmly on the ground

Who could have imagined

You'd get so damned far

That you could change the stars

To your heart's content

Only so you could forget

very well done, I like this alot. 'Until we sold our souls for a chance to grow old," very true. Something I often think about.
