Reminders

The sun is shining brightly outside
And your friends call you to play
But you must are safe inside
So inside you will stay

Friends tell you to leave your room
That they have a great surprise
But you turn up the volume
So the music covers their lies

They chide that you are better now
And well enough to join their games
But you still feel the scars
A reminder of the schoolhouse flames

They visit on the same day each year
Identical to the friends you once knew
Tomorrow they will disappear
Your childhood friends who never grew
