Prefacing Reality

Always losing sight, why can't I Get back to it Get back some grace And I don't have the power to stop change Nothing ever remains the same We just end up, ghosts in the hallways Take me back To when I wanted this more than anything When I saw Everything So clear Break me down It's a constant breath of pollution Killing myself over this past year When will I be okay This can't be the only way When will I When will I When will I feel gold again Why can't I go back Outgrowing this ancient soul All the memories fade Im not the same as I was before Was before I'm not the same I'm not the same Always losing sight, why can't I Get back to it Get back some grace And I don't have the power to stop change Nothing ever remains the same We just end up, ghosts in the hallways Take me back to when I knew the lights When I recognized the person in the mirror Break me down, I'm trying to start again I fought the world hard just to cave in Hopefully this time won't fade I've wasted most of my life, wishing time would stay I feel so stuck Wishing things would just stay the same I'm a shadow of who I once was But there's no going back Always losing sight, why can't I Get back to it Get back some grace And I don't have the power to stop change Nothing ever remains the same We just end up, ghosts in the hallways Why can't I go back Outgrowing this ancient soul All the memories all fade I'm not the same as I was before Was before I'm not the same
