my mind is playing tricks on me I thought I saw your face next second gone, just like that not the slightest trace I must be going crazy I thought I heard you call my name but only silence greeted me is my mind really playing games? I thought I felt your tender touch when I turned, you were not there although goose bumps broke out on my skin couldn't find you anywhere you left me, oh so long ago yet still you're on my mind you'd think that I'd be over you living life and doing fine why then, am I seeing you feeling your familiar touch? why then are you haunting me? why do I miss you this **** much? I wish I could just let it go banish thoughts of you away I wish I could erase it all or make it so you stayed but I don't have that power so here I am alone hour after hour trying to make it on my own my mind is playing tricks on me for here you are again like I'm dreaming while awake when will this madness end? always the same, you show yourself when void of company when no one's here to witness the way you come to me perhaps I am going crazy! it could be worse for me at least one thing is certain I won't ever again be lonely I'll finally have you back again and life won't be so sad living in my crazy world might not be so bad I may have lost touch with reality I may be lost in wonderland but I've made up my mind, I'm staying reality will just have to understand

Goodbye Reality
Have you ever heard your voice on a microphone? Distant and fade, almost like someone else is speaking, saying the things you want to say. You are not sure if people can hear you over your pounding heart. Your hands tremble, you feel a chill go down your spine. You exhale as if blowing air into a lit candle. Smiling faces catch your eye, you can feel their anticipation. Your voice still seems distant and fade; unfamiliar. You close your eyes for a second, but it feels like eternity. Before you know it, the crowd is clapping and cheering. As you hand over the mic and walk off the stage, you wonder what really happened.
