A Fading Reminder
Waking up with my face on the floor
I get up and step on something
My bass makes a buzzing sound
The low pitch of the strings
An eery feeling Screaming through my head
I realize this isnt my room
Its covered in a blue haze
Everything is dark, scary
I scream but i cant hear myself
I remember the night before
when everyone was sitting around the table
laughing, cheering, happy
I turn the knob and open the door
I step out into cold sand
The sky is gray
Walking into a world i havent seen before
Dead animals hanging on trees
There are no cars
No one is around
I turn back and look at my door
Just a room in the middle of nowhere
Standing alone
Ive had the feeling before
A light appears
i walk towards it
i walk throught the lights
it takes me to the past
when everything was okay
where no one judged you
where you werent alone
when everything had meaning
... When i existed
just a fading reminder of who i used to be.
