Daylight Saving

I'm slowly losing my memory
The curse of nostalgia, the siren sings
A no fault divorce of my swings
Like the ones we leapt on our childhood stings
'Twas such a blessing to be so gifted
But day by day the black swans shifted
In the line of sight
I let go of my kite

The penny problems they seemed so loud
Clumsy trips, oh they pleased the crowd
When my cards weren't stacked in a deck
My adolescence would have them swept

You cannot be normal now
You cannot be behind
I have to be extraordinary
Can't fail my promises to her
Little girl wanted the world
What kind of saviour am I to be

So I'm saving
My daylight
So she never sees the dark
The only one I rely on to not fall apart

Every glimpse back I feel more dumb
Without a war I don't have my gun
Limitless tasks rope their way into oblivion
Prove yourself as a mastermind
Without my kite I walk in blind
Somehow it's more easy
For ropes to feel queasy
My baby blanket's dust

Every moon cycle I ignite
Reflecting till my chest is tight
Consistency of the slimes we sold
19 is too young to feel this old

You cannot be normal now
You cannot be behind
I have to be extraordinary
Can't fail my promises to her
Little girl wanted the world
What kind of saviour am I to be

So I'm saving
My daylight
So she never sees the dark
The only one I rely on to not fall apart

If only
I could have told me
I don't need to exceed
To feel worthy
I still hang on to those plushies now
Never let go without falling down
A pariah in my hometown
But it doesn't matter now

At least to you
Without my youth I don't know my truth
I vowed to save my daylight
But I'm running out of you

I know
I cannot be normal now
I cannot be behind
Got to be extraordinary
Can't fail my promises to you
Little girl wanted the truth
Still got your hands
And your shoes
I walk in you
My daylight
You're saving me too
