Reception Fades

you talk about the way things were

but I can't hear what you're saying

a time when life was not this hard

blessed by the innocence



is the best yet to come?

or did it pass by long ago?

are we holding on to a thread

of something already dead?



I'm not your reason to stand up straight

shoulders back chest out and eyes raised

stepping back, I hesitate

I can't let myself be taken



is the best yet to come?

or did it pass by long ago?

are we holding on to a thread

of something already dead?



you can't change your mind, expect me to care

you can't just snap your fingers and expect me to be there.

[2x]

can't just change your mind



the reception fades the signals breaking up

and am I moving on or am I giving up?

If you walk away from this with anything

live your life today.
