I can still remember
The words and what they meant
As we etched them with our fingers
In years of wet cement.
The days blurred into each other,
Though everything seemed clear:
We [bad word] along at half speed
But then we shifted gears.

We ran like vampires
From a thousand burning suns,
But even then we should have stayed
 [bad word] ]
But we ran away,
Now all my friends are gone,
Maybe we've outgrown all the things
That we once [bad word] away, but what are [bad word] from?
show of hands from those
In this audience of one...
Where have they gone?

Identities assume us
As nine and five 
Add up,
Synchronizing watches
To the seconds that we lost.

I looked up and saw you,
I know that you saw me,
We froze but for a moment...
In empathy

I brought down the sky for you
But all you did was [bad word] 
You gave my emptiness a name
 [bad word] 

We're all ok until the day we're not,
The surface shines while the inside rots
We raced the sunset and we almost won,
We slammed the brakes
But the wheels went on...
 [bad word] ]
But we ran away,
Now all my friends are gone,
Maybe we've outgrown all the things
That we once [bad word] away, but what are [bad word] from?
show of hands from those
In this audience of one...
Where have they gone?
