I was the living boy
And some god who waits for nothing came
And made a noise
That shook the walls we live in
Remember screaming as existence
Remember marveling at indifference
Old friend were we wrong
Maybe it was nothing
Maybe it's some noble need
For something more like free
But right now it seems like nothing
So I was the living boy
The tether’s barely gripping
Was it warmer there
Out in the Bat City
Or did the Pacific pacify your yearning
We lost a limb before the vernal season ceased to shine
The sound that came to call us came in
It sounded weak and thin
Dangerously dim
And I know you're listening
So where do we go when it's gone
We've been here so long
Am I free from the fear of joy
I am the living boy
I'm bound to nothing
I was the living boy
To the sound we made so sweetly breaking
Rumbling and deep and I don't ever sleep
Like New York in a bad dream but maybe
When your turn came
To deliver the words
That we don't need you around
The faintest scream
And the loudest whispering
When he needs us the most
So where do we go when it's gone
We've been here so long
Am I free from the fear of joy
I am the living boy
I'm bound to nothing

at this age reminded me of the naive optimism of high school. dent is more like the college student who tries to remain optimistic in the face of a world that contradicts itself at every turn. fartintheelevator
