McCalister

Concepts

There's a book of things I wish I never knew
And though I've never read it I can spell it out for you
Some call me a cynic, well I'd say I'm a critic
Relationships once steadfast become tenuous and stygian

The world we're living in is anything but sane
The only place I'm safe is looking through the window pane
I'm a citizen of youth
Climbing mountains made of memories and people I once knew

When I'm in a place where everybody knows my name
All the same, no one knows me at all
To go somewhere anonymous, a paradise it seems
To be faceless, nameless - the new American dream

What happened to my generation, plagued by flagrant narcissism
Cataclysmic self-absorption, thinly veiled in aphorism

Everyone's a closet case, no one ever wants to face
The harsh reality that we're all coming from the same place

Putting life into words is the struggle I'm facing
My heart is getting heavy and my mind is racing
I'm doing what I love and everything is amazing
But the impending future is scary and bracing
What happens when this ends?
At least I know I'm pulling through with my best friends

In a world of peaceful chaos where challenges are met
Marks are made and goals are set,
Where have we all gone?
Where have we all gone?
