You can watch,
The same sun fall,
Day after day,
You can keep your memories,
And pretend,
You can lie all you want,
But I don't want to anymore

Like those summers,
Long since faded from my mind,
Not special in any obvious way,
Simply a part of my life,
Like presence, like air,
Importance unnoticed,
Immemorable

I could have stayed forever,
Watching the ocean,
Even after the sun had faded,
I wish I'd stayed,
Under the stars

Burn me down,
I'm not breathing,
Keep the composure,
I'm not feeling,
Hold on another moment,
I'll forget the second it's over,
Don't let me forget,
This time,
Wake me up

It's not because I don't love you,
Or that you don't make me happy,
It's not that I don't want to change,
That I'm tired of it all,
I've just forgotten how to breathe,
I've forgotten how to see,
My vision's clouded over,
All I need is to be reminded,
To be taught how to feel,
Something that doesn't break me,
Or make me tumble to the floor,
I need you to look past,
The thoughts, the blood, the feelings,
And find what used to be,
Light

The edges burn to black,
The light is fading,
I bleed the colours,
From my eyes,
And swallow my dreams,
Banishing them,
To the darkest hollows,
Of my mind,
As I prepare,
For tomorrow's disappointment
