I get so lost in the moments,
That won't fall into place,
I'm bounded by the darkness,
Haunted by a face.
I feel cold in the emptiness,
Subjected to the pain,
Rejected from the moments,
The pieces that remain.
I've tried to find myself,
The debris of my past,
Stuck in the remnants,,
Of the things that shouldn't last.
None of it makes sense,
All I need to know,
Everything I never understood,
Is what I can't let go.
All I've held on to,
That were supposed to fade,
Stick around like dust mites,
Because of the imprints they've made.
And as time changes,
And it all breaks away,
It gets so much harder,
I still don't know what to say.
I can't keep it together anymore,
My place I can't find,
I'm trapped inside a void,
And life is being so unkind.
I don't know where I'm going,
Oh, I just don't understand,
Time just won't leave,
No, it won't let go of my hand.
