Someone lost in a loop
Marking tracks in tow
Following footsteps
Shadows left by ghosts
Who left behind their hope
With memories and youth
Falling in love
With who
(Who we used to be)
The ticking of a clock
threatening to stop
Moments frozen in time
Trapped behind glazed eyes
but their faces are fading
Photograph of a face
that holds a strangers gaze
with familiar features
Falling in love
With who
(Who we used to be)
The ticking of a clock
Threatening to stop
One more year
Brand new friends
One more year
Brand new trends
One more year
Brand new home
One more year
Off alone
One more year
Brand new friends
One more year
Brand new trends
One more year
Getting old
One more year
Getting old
Everyone grows up
Everyone gets old
Everyone must stop
But I'm not dead
Yet.
