There's a fondness I've forgotten...
But friendly nature still persists
Trying to burn a dying Flame
of something I hope exists
Vibrant colors surround me
they carry me places I've never seen
Oh the roads and waves and faces-
My heart forever changed it's beating
But is life just a dream?
Forcing hope to life always
in this dreary, fading world
Losing track if hope is real
Because I see what has gone away
The lights illuminated paths disguised
Filled with masks of painted faces
But I can never reach these places...
Pale and Uninterested- I'll see my demise...
