When I went to sleep on Sunday night, I hoped I would awake the next day feeling refreshed and ready to adapt to whatever the ‘new normal’ would be. Unfortunately, I was just as tired, just as confused, and even more detached from reality. With the future on indefinite hiatus, I let the nostalgia run over me, filling my daydreams with memories of the past…
lyrics
At the tail of the summer, I feel so cold
I’ve broken my wings, trying to fit the mould
More questions than answers, so much unknown
The numbers go up, but I’m down here alone
First day in the new world, but what does that mean?
How many changes affect my routine?
Plans in captivity, hope lost in time
My own private prison cell, but I’ve done no crime
They say this phase, it won’t last long
But I’ve done my research and I know they’re wrong
My hopes and dreams, they’ve been mislaid
Regression takes hold as the meaning starts to fade
Yes, turns to maybe, then maybe turns to no
Stare at the picture, with nowhere to go
The candle burns faster each empty day
Give in to nostalgia, start drifting away
Here in my fortress
Lost in the phantom zone
Yearning for solace
Spiralling down, resolution unknown
Here in my fortress
Inside my mind, I’m lost at sea
Yearning for solace
Into the void, let the waves carry me
Plans out the window, time on my side
I’m in a void somewhere in between
Head on the pillow, eyes open wide
Here in my room, I shut out the gloom
Leaving this world of uncertainty behind
