Spasm

My mind, out of my mind
In my mind's eye
You've got mirrors in front of your eyes
You can't see truth for self-obsession
Compromise, why don't you live your life
Are you so scared you'll be forgotten?
As you stare into the sun
Are you scared you'll be forgotten?
As you stare into the water

In time you will arrive with a clear mind
You'll be sure you're not assured of a freefall
Words can't say all the things that you feel
No faith that they'll outlive you anyway
Down and out but no one's writing a book
Altruistic or just trying to shine bright?
Are you scared you'll be forgotten?
As you stare into the sun
As you stare into the water
