A Melancholic Song

These lines feel familiar
It's like I'm awake and myself
From a dream I reconfigured
And night terrors I couldn't help

The intro to a melancholic song tilts my frame of mind
Playing on repeat, I won't be free of it, I hit rewind
The sun might make me rediscover the intricate beauty of my hair
But I'm lost in everything, I'm lost in everywhere

Our worst fears play in real time
Oaths to comfort decompose
Dreams we shared became just mine
Along with the corpses of those

The intro to a melancholic song tilts my frame of mind
Playing on repeat, I won't be free of it, I hit rewind
One day I'll realise, and looking back, appreciate at least I tried to be fair
But I'm lost in everything, I'm lost in everywhere

When months have passed with years to spare
I won't have to love your morning glare
Or the empty stare into the distance
It's one step at a time
When months have passed and I've forgotten
All the hurt that turned us rotten
I'll fantasise the mess we'd stayed in
One step at a time

The intro to a melancholic song tilts my frame of mind
