"Can You Rememeber, When We Were Younger?"

I don't pray anymore  
spirits knock on my door  
i do not recall  
the last time i fell.  
sticks and stones may brake bones  
we swapped are toys for mobile phones  
can you remember when we were younger?  
 
I remember when we were young  
we would play war with sticks  
and toy guns.  
but i cant come out to play no more  
i don't play childish games anymore.  
 
I offer a truce  
but you cant handle the truth  
I never played well with the other boys and girls  
are youth was bypassed for other thrills and spills  
i cant continue no more  
my hands grasp the handle on the door  
but will we remember when we are older?  
 
We used to party to the Max  
and now all we pay is tax  
we are fading from view  
i don't want to be scared anymore  
we fall through cracks in the floor  
Can you remember when we were younger?
