I live like I’m already dead,
all these broken pieces -
they remind me that i may never be whole again.
That is,
if I ever really was.
But, this is all I know.
Even when I find new paths to wander,
I still end up right back to everything that I already know.
but, maybe he doesn’t exist anymore.
Maybe, I was never who I thought.
Just a ghost, a shadow, a thought….

“ I can see it again…….
Every other page there's something gone.
I need another reason to live, yeah.
I don’t even know how I lost it and now I'm sleeping with these dreams —
I can't stop playing in my head;
There's one in which I’m drowning and then
One where I'm beginning to start over new. “

Words by Me
Oh, but this life, it's always fun in the minute. It's always fun when you're in a blur. You feel so alive, dancing in the night air. Waiting for the train to - anywhere but here.
But, this feeling... It won't last forever. And, you'll wake up feeling like death trying to piece all back together.
You'll remember small moments of freedom where you didn't feel so much like yourself, you'll remember the smiles from the night before as you try to put yourself back together.
And again, tonight, there you'll be under the platform lights - dancing into the night waiting for the next train, the next destination, the next....
And, doesn't she look so free dancing underneath those lights?

There’s nothing we can do,
when it comes to time.
Sometimes, all we can do is watch everything fade away like an photograph.

We were making wishes in poisoned waters.
We’re chasing the things inside of our heads,
while missing everything in front of us.
With blackened hearts,
we’re always looking for more.
We gave in;
it’s all just an illusion.
