Just In Time
I left a long time ago
When rivers were full of fish
Grasslands painted with flowers
Millions of stars sparkling in the sky
Hope across all faces
Knowing that they mean something-
Knowing they mattered

Little did they know
How fires can spread off of one small lie
Plays of power based on desire
Cities of metal
Controlled with guns at hearts
Chaining dreams to the ground
And calling it 'for safety'
Well,
That's why I left

Because if I dealt with it all a moment longer,
I'd be fairly dead
