i am becoming aware now
of what they've done to me
i've got your ordinary disease
tomorrow comes and nothing has changed
yesterday was a perfect reflection of today
do you remember your dreams
did they ever look like this
i wish i could be there
as you prepare another blank stare
not willing to admit
you've already become all you could have been
there was a time
when you refused to follow
before you learned the beauty of shame
before you left me behind
to drown in the afterglow
somewhere along the line
between when i said goodbye
and when i realized
i couldn't remember the color of your eyes
i lost the ability to truly shine
i tried to smile for you
i really did |
