Everything that's real passes me by
Cause I live on a sheet of paper
I could leave it anytime I want

 Wondering what to write

Old thoughts laid on the paper many-many moons

Old ideas hidden in a tattered envelope,
Old feelings gathered on a sheet of paper,
Now yellow and tatty like the envelope.

Who am I, whose am I to decide;
