Not For A Lack Of

We’ll keep getting older
And maybe someday it can be innocent, again
And we can be sober
And not for a lack of courage
I’m not a user
I wouldn’t abuse her
Despite time, taking away my chance
I’ll have to admire on
From a distance till you’re gone
Through photographs of circumstance

We’re falling free
There may be spark but there’s no gravity
I hate living in this reality
But escape is just escape
Encased in fantasy
I’m not a user
I wouldn’t abuse her
Despite life, smudging opportunity
I’ll have to smile wide
Friendliness and pride
While your beautiful eyes
End like beautiful movies
