I know a place

Where memories are made and forgotten

Where the world is as small as you thought it

And the people who escape always say

I’ve never belonged here anyway

The land is frigid now

As the warmth takes its final bows

As people navigate the crowds

Overhear the masses as they proudly state

We never belonged here anyway

And just like that they never did

Nobody wants to settle for what they knew

When perfect new things can envelop you

And remind you why you couldn’t stay

You never belonged here anyway

The flames consume

The backdrops of our lives

The hope once trapped in their eyes

Smothered in the disarray

Nobody belonged here anyway
