Ok, you're all probably sick of the sight of me now but I can't help but put this one up. Lol. Again, it maybe needs working on. There are bits I don't like myself yet every time I try changing it I'm unsuccessful. It refuses to change really. I probably shouldn't say much about it, I'll just leave this one open to interpretation. So here it is then, in its purest, roughest form. You’re disappearing from me I can’t reach you Losing all your innocence Winning all your dreams You’re running away on ahead I can’t keep up Just don’t know when I’m gonna Feel what I need to feel Hanging onto your coat tails Is all I’ve got left But how long before you move faster And leave me far behind? Known you for so long now But it’s fading You’re just like everyone else So what the hell is wrong with me? You talk of all your desires And I listen Shrinking in the corner Hoping nobody would see You’re blending into this new world But I can’t face it Why did it have to come to this? Could they not have let us be? I meet you on the street But it’s different This world has warped your mind Brainwashed you with it’s lies And I play the same old game Of falsehood Laughing at your new adventures Grinning all the time You’re so far in front now That I give up Sink down to my knees Gasping for life’s air And I cry for this world to come And take me Corrupt my mind and take my soul Just don’t leave me standing here But nothing changes inside myself It’s still me Same old stubborn, grudging thoughts Same old pain and beauty And I can no longer see you In the distance Lost to these same old shadows Nobody around to save me So when you’re drinking your life Will you remember? Do you even know my name? Can you even see my face? As you dance and sing On life’s stage Do you ever feel guilt that you ran ahead And left me in this place? Dreams are dreams and life’s a peach But I fall down Left to the crazed outsider men Like vultures they pick my bones So I’ve still got my own same thoughts But it’s despair I’ve still got my mind But forever I’ll be alone
