New Chapter

Feel like my worlds on fire,
but I can't put it out.
Things pass me by so fast,
and I am without control.
The childhood memories of those I know,
and almost done.
I don't know how this fire came,
but know its burning me up.

Time passes by like Wild Fire,
not knowing where it goes,
a friend moves,
and friends keep moving along.

I feel so old,
but yet I am young.
I feel like I had a million memories,
but only a dozen.
I feel like I had many loves,
but can't find them anymore.

I feel a New Time approaching,
an New Chapter in my life,
from boy to man.

Everything is in Flames,
and the smoke is covering the Truth.
Too afraid to talk,
for I choke every time I talk,
to you,
but that's all I do.

I gotta take what I get,
and hope to find,
the Truth after the smoke goes on,
Hope you don't burn from me.
