I used to be a musician I played symphonies and concertos Etudes and ballets that throbbed at people's hearts I played with wonderful beautiful souls Souls you’d think were only in fairytales and poems I used to be an entertainer Camera on and the film endless Laughs that would shake the ground Tears that I could’ve sworn were joyfully golden There were a few that I’d film with God if they knew how much they’ve sculpted me I used to be an inventor Drew creations out of thin air Brought from nothing, to paper, to life The team that I was with were some of the smartest I’ve known We were constantly dreaming of how to better our ropes In the end we went our separate ways, yet I think about them daily I used to be alive A life that seemed full of ecstasy Even if half my life was a lie I used to laugh Laugh until my body began to beg me to stop But, I’d still laugh, cause such spirits couldn't be anchored Even if we were sitting in a pit of hell I used to cry Cry from all the agony Cry from the spinning dread Unable to stabilise my ship and bring it bay Yet I still felt like a person I have so many multitudes to my character And a drive that was unwavered to the likes of 4 demons Yet, now I can’t do much I can’t do anything at all I can’t feel like a person Even if that’s who I am at all
