Once I ran down the less-travelled road,
Just to stop the screams.
Short of breath, but I’m able to breathe,
in my clandestine dream.
But I don’t want it back.
The simple-minded forsaken.
Now my reflection’s blank.
Just non-refundable pictures of invisible me.
Here I sit, all alone in the dark.
A smile across my face.
I’m deaf and blind, but I’m able to see,
in my protected space.
And I don’t want it back.
The simple-minded forsaken.
Now my reflection’s blank.
Just non-refundable pictures of invisible me.
Now I sneak out, and stand in the street.
My arms are open wide.
Lips are sealed, but I’m able to speak,
but no-one’s speaking back…
Now I can’t bring it back.
The simple-minded forsaken.
and my reflection’s blank.
Just non-refundable pictures of invisible me.
