In the Air

Must've been something in the air ,
colors surrounding the prelims went dazed and confused,
I for one may have gotten twisted by it's disguise,
I bite my tongue to listen to more than a broken soul,
More than broken eyes looking for pieces of thy heart so scattered,

Must've been something in the room
For my heart broke yet I betrayed myself in a way,
A way of what one would not do persay
I'm loosing myself as well with you, you see
Tommorow is never promised so whats with the sad face ,
I look for myself everyday but am still lost
I smile 

Must've been something visually appealing right before my irises,
I blink to acknowledge my visual perception,
It's dark maybe I'll open my eyes to see more
Shall I see more than I can grasp at this time vividly
Is time gonna catch up to  my perception 
Only time will tell
Yet again
Must've been something in the air....
