We had smiles

By Tanner Norman

Runnin', flouncin', fightin'
We had it all, lost it in a fall
The Plague mended us 

Dreamin' of the fun in my past land
Experimentin' in the laboratory of potential

Enhance your brain
So many have lost it...

I think when I went into the cave
My friends were there

What were we doing?
Livin'
We were livin'

Crafting the miracle of childhood

Then we went up into the village
We saw perplexations and wonders
The mice flooded it all
Then we went into Venus

We burned, and burnt
Flames, flames, Flames

Wet and Dry, we had something:
A smile, we had smiles
