Long days and swift nights.


They all pass by in a blur.


I sit and wait for the next day.


Where I know it will all be the same.


Stuck and lost in a total daze.


I’ve always picked the hard games.


Then I regress back to my old ways.


Being lost and impossible to be found.


They’re the only skills that I retain.


It’s been told since I was a child.


It’s left me nowhere to go.


By now I thought I would have learned.


These patterns that destroy my only home.


Of this it is no one’s concern.


I only wish to be gotten again.


Someone who understands my tears.


A person that can read my mind.


Once upon a time I had it in myself.


Knowing what I meant felt so good.


Now I seem to have lost myself.


Find my soul, only in you could.
