Picture Perfect

I watch it all collapse

It never seems to last

As long as I need it to

A beautiful mistake

A wound without a trace

Was it ever really true?

We can’t see the future

We can’t rewrite the past

Tried to hold it captive

But it faded all too fast

Is it much too late

To save yourself?

Memories keep calling

Deeper into fear I’m falling

Lost within my mind

It haunts me for so long

Trapped beneath the glass

Never a shadow cast

A perfect picture’s all I knew

Lost within the struggle

Never felt so much alive

Gave into the rapture:

Don’t care if I survived

Is it much too late

To save yourself?

Memories keep calling

Deeper into fear I’m falling

Lost within my mind

It haunts me for so long

All my hope is dying

Even though I keep on trying

Lost within my mind

It haunts me for so long
