Name: ___________

I was lost the other day and couldn't find your name,
I know you're calmly looking for somewhere to lay the blame
for all the dark we've known before in times of blackened smoke,
the government's hypocrisy is nothing but a joke
to those who see the years as tally marks drawn in the sand,
the only things we care about we're holding in our hand,
The cold rain clouds our vision so we can not see the end,
we're waiting and supposing that the sun will warm our skin,
I swear my teacher's voice is getting louder every day,
I don't know if she realizes my mind's so far away
from strategies and numbers, as I dream about the sky
if I was more like Bob I guarantee I'd go get high,
But I don't need those substances to help me feel alright,
I'm dealing with reality and sleeping well at night,
I hope that you don't love me for something that I'm not,
I thought I knew your name one time, but I think I just forgot.
