We stayed up 'til the early hours of morning
Talking about the times we used to know
No regrets but misplaced interuptions
Contemplating rules we can't let go
All the others fallen by the wayside
Lost to life but not yet lost to death
Victims to the cancer of their conscience
Dying just to take another breath
Into the past like a fire escape
The bottom just fell out but it can't be replaced
Up with the smoke or lost to the flame
I can't get back again, can't get back again
In these words are flashes of the meanings
Littered through these stories of the truth
Nothing witnessed seems to bare repeating
But in the end it's siphoned from our youth
Another shrine to build around a memory
When everything back then just seemed to suck
Still with thought and shot into perspective
It seems our time is running out of luck
Into the past like a fire escape
The bottom just fell out but it can't be replaced
Up with the smoke or lost to the flame
I can't get back again, can't get back again
