Street Names

And so the modern children
Know all the new street names
It’s sweet and candy coated
It looks different but tastes the same
They say we have a problem
That’s only what they claim
We’ll keep the windows open
Erase our faces and change our names

I was not who you thought I was on the first day
Hide behind the terrible mask that I made
Never gonna say you’re sorry
Know it’s only temporary
I’m not really here

I saw you on the corner
And tried to guess your name
And though I know it’s not love
It looks different but tastes the same
The traffic lights were flashing
The city was in flames
And all the modern children
Blamed their parents and changed their names
