My mind wanders too far for me to catch up
The world seems so foggy
I can’t find my thoughts

I struggle just to collect the memories
That were left behind
Like a whisper on the breeze

When I’m wide awake
As the whole world sleeps
I feel no mercy from the darkness at my feet

I hear the laughter behind me
The pain only I can see

Is it too late for me to start again?
I must believe that every now and then

I can’t leave behind all that I know
So the world can learn
What it should have known long ago

I’ve never come this close to the fire
The truth is all that I desire

Pick myself up to knock you back down
If you only knew how I called for your help
Without making a sound
