Harper Lee Isn't This Where We Came In
i remember how you had your hair
the clothes you wore the drink we shared
like it was today
a conversation froze in time
i remember clearly every line
like it was today
and now we sit and edge around
the brutal truth we’ve not allowed
that’s weighing on us
there’s nothing changed
this still won’t work but we just close our eyes and turn
our backs to the sun
isn’t this where we came in?
but the days just drift and pass away
and what we have just stays the same
and that’s not much
we’ve wasted time on idle dreams
on half lived lives and stupid schemes
but still we need us
isn’t this where we came in?
the bodies we crave are wasting away
