Bye for Now

I never thought that this would be the way it was
But then I grew up
Now when I open my eyes, I just see darkened skies
Not starry nights
Looking everywhere, I'm seeing missiles in the sky
Scared to bring a kid up in this world, it doesn't feel right
Global warming, fires burning, tons of smoke up in the sky
Everybody's looking towards the politicians for advice
It's about time to say goodnight
You've had it all wrong for all your life
As we walk on the edge of a knife
Guess this is goodbye for now
People sending the kids to the skies
They're not even getting to live their lives
We keep feeding them lies, it's alright
Make up for us, you'll be fine
We never thought that this would be the way it was
But then we grew up
We couldn't sit around, watch TV or cartoons together
Man, that sucks
I remember waking up inside a pillow fort
Seeing all our friends all of the time, we were a happy sort
Haven't seen them in a while, hope that they are doing fine
Crazy how much you can grow apart in such a little time
It's about time to say goodnight
You've had it all wrong for all your life
As we walk on the edge of a knife
Guess this is goodbye for now
People sending the kids to the skies
They're not even getting to live their lives
We keep feeding them lies, it's alright
Make up for us, you'll be fine
Is it really fair to say
That we had everything
That we would've wanted
Is this what we wanted
Everything that we have done has led us up to now
Time to make a choice of what we will and what we won't allow
Chasing things and stupid dreams and try to get it all out
Thought that we had everything but we went and lost it all
It's about time to say goodnight
You've had it all wrong for all your life
As we walk on the edge of a knife
Guess this is goodbye for now
People sending the kids to the skies
They're not even getting to live their lives
We keep feeding them lies, it's alright
Make up for us, you'll be fine
