I keep my walls swarmed with photos Of faces I no longer see And places I no longer go The things I loved I now grow to hate As always I realised too late There's such an irony in seeking happiness From what is now distant memories And I've been torn away into a loop Into the isolation of being alone Who I've become now is still not known I find humour in the worst times In the sudden realisation that the best times Of my few years has passed And I feel myself fading away When I can't keep the thoughts at bay I've been waiting for someone to say Anything to show that they know me And I end up alone here again when Even in a desperate attempt to feel There is nothing that feels real

Capturing a Moment
I keep my walls swarmed with photos Of faces I no longer see And places I no longer go The things I loved I now grow to hate As always I realised too late There's such an irony in seeking happiness From what is now distant memories And I've been torn away into a loop Into the isolation of being alone Who I've become now is still not known I find humour in the worst times In the sudden realisation that the best times Of my few years has passed And I feel myself fading away When I can't keep the thoughts at bay I've been waiting for someone to say Anything to show that they know me And I end up alone here again when Even in a desperate attempt to feel There is nothing that feels real
