Fragments Of A Dream

My energy deflated

All my thoughts, they wander far

Mistrust of my future

The guilt in my past

Other times it seems

It might not all be so blue

If I could change just simple things

Maybe I could bloom

Maybe I could be happy

I can see it in my dreams

They're washing over me

An image of another place

Of where I'm supposed to be

Could I take a fragment

Or must I stay the same

An image of a better me

That fades when I'm awake

If they are who I truly am

Then why am I here

A hollow one

Forgotten son

A phone call left unanswered

All of the words I left unsaid

All the mistakes I made

Everything I did instead

Now I'm left with regret

Taunted by it constantly

I'm haunted in my sleep

I'm showing all that could've been

If I was anyone but me

I can see it in my dreams

They're washing over me

An image of another place

Of where I'm supposed to be

Could I take a fragment

Or must I stay the same

An image of a better me

That fades when I'm awake

If they are who I truly am

Then why am I here

A hollow one

Forgotten son

Take this pain in my head

And the ache in my chest

End my torment and

Let new life grow instead

If I can't be there

Then I can't stay

There's nothing for me here

I can see it in my dreams

They're washing over me

An image of another place

Of where I'm supposed to be

Could I take a fragment

Or must I stay the same

An image of a better me

That fades when I'm awake

If they are who I truly am

Then why am I here

A hollow one

Forgotten son
