Life Unlived

Gazing upon yourself, seeing all that you are. What have you become? You haven't gone too far. Something like a painful life, seems that is what you live. Something like a painless smile, seems that is what you give. But you escape all that is, losing control over time. You leave this world for a while through your constant highs. Actins as someone you're not, tell me how it feels - to be diminished by the truth, of everything thats real. Stolen from reality, obliterated by your alibi, helplessly seeking redemption, as you merely live a lie.
