Little Souls

8 years old, we're told
"You're too young to unlearn how to smile and hate the world

8 years from now on
You'll forget the art of carefreeness and little girls"

So 6 young hearts kick start and venture
Into a labyrinth of question marks

Mischievous, wide eyed
We had nothing to hide, our smiles were bonafide

We dreamed of superpowers
Meteor showers
Climbing towers
Magic mermaids
Flying ships
And finding home

In our unlocked golden coffer all we had was love to offer
A currency that once was just enough

Guess we grew up

These days we've ceased to give a frail and feeble damn
We've got new better plans

Crystal clear, each year
Since June of 2010, we've grown cavalier and bland

We used to dance in rainstorms
Fight our battles, win the whole war
We spoke in flames and held hands while we burned
Now all we ever do is vomit apathy
We mop it with apology's, I'm sorry's
I worry...
I worry
We grew up

Oooh...
Oooh...
Oooh...
Oooh...

Things have changed and minds have aged
We're so far in this unfeasible maze
When did black and white decide to propagate
'Cause everything now seems so, gray

We've forgotten the beats of our own drums
We've lost touch of tunes we used to hum
We smell of sin and no longer bubblegum
Our season is yet to come

Were houses with water stained walls
We're standing but no longer tall
When did we stop having a ball
I don't recall, I don't recall

Here we are, so far
We've walked a lonely road
We're like nomads finding home

But somewhere far inside the 8 year old resides
Whispering you'll be alright

So let us live, let live
Forgive and hope we don't
Fail the souls we used to know

Let's walk each other home
Little souls please don't let go

This unknown is ours to roam
Our little souls will walk us home
