You look around
And all that you see
Familiar faces
In their own dreams
Each of their stories
As real as the next
Caught in the past now
So hard to forget.
You're trying to move on
But you're clutching it tight
Shrouding the present
With glimpses of respite
You're back to the screen now
Absorbed in it's glare
These quaint old memories
Just sitting there.
We're holding on
By a wish and a thread
In the space
Between hope and fear
We're standing out
By blending right in
And so revealed
To the qualms of the sheep.
We'd all like to slow down
Live without a care
But a lot of shit happens
Between those ears.
Still trying to move forward
With this weight on your neck
You're one in a million
Just like everyone else.
