Caught Up

(álbum: BYO Split Series, Vol. I (Leatherface / Hot Water Music) - 1999)

How do we get back
Away from the grind that gives no slack
To the frames the ones we filtered first
Which widened our eyes through their colors shapes and designs

With everything so brand new
And everything so pure and true
When saving the world could be done in a day
With a cape and an imagination ready to play

On our hands and knees we crawled and watched
As our elders walked we soaked up all we could
Clung to what we knew was good
And glazed amazed
At what unfolded before our face

To find out we'd forget it all
By being caught up in a race that isn't for fun at all
With hands frustrated to do instead of willing to try
Living by the clock and slowly wasting away in tie

On my hands and knees I plead to see
The way that a child does see and waltz around aware not drowned
Not buried down or cornered slammed
A fresh start entity an easy way to be
Unless you're past the age
