Everything is moving so fast
And I'm afraid I just can't
Keep up anymore.
Tables are turning,
And I am learning
That it's best not to
Stay for too long.
I'm looking, but
I cannot see;
I'm listening, but
I cannot hear.
Promises look so much better
On paper, anyways.
Perhaps if we could just
Stop for a while
I'd have enough time to
Get my head on straight;
To hand myself over to
Some wayward fate,
And maybe then I'll
Finally know where I'm going
Instead of stumbling around
Blind and unfeeling.
I've lost my mind;
I'm lost in my mind.
Could you take me back in time?
Back to when smiles
We're just smiles
And eyes held no burden.
Because right now
I'm just existing,
I don't quite know how to be.
I'm going through the
Motions of a human,
But not living as a person.
