The Last Day of Summer

July 26, 2021
By Anonymous

My mama swore that I would change the world
Now I’m too tired to change my clothes
I want to steal the feeling of the last day of summer
and hide it deep inside my bones

I want to live forever, I want to die right here
nothing can hurt me, if nothing is real
I'm high on life, and I'm about to overdose
A poetic drunk is just a drunk—I should know
Is this happiness or have I finally gone insane?
It's the last day of summer inside my brain

I feel the sadness coming like a farmer in a field
feels rain approaching on the wind
my bones creak and moan with the weight
of all the lives I will never live

I'm charging off the high dive
But someone drained the pool
I want to disappear and never be found
but I don't want to get behind in school

I want to live forever, I want to die right here
nothing can hurt me, if nothing is real
I'm high on life, and I'm about to overdose
A poetic drunk is just a drunk—I should know
Is this happiness or have I finally gone insane?
I'm scared of what will happen when the last day of summer fades

I want to be remebered
I want to be forgotten
even by god
I want to be remebered
I want to be forgotten
even by god

I dont want to die but I want to be dead
a poetic drunk is just a drunk in the end
I'm high on life and I'm about to overdose
steam rising up from the asphalt like a ghost
I want to live forever, I want to die today
last day of summer goes out with a bang
