Placebo

You're alone
Just fall asleep
Exhale, release
Am I alone?
Is this a dream?
(I can't wake up, I can't wake up)
Slip into oblivion and cling to relief
Take me back to when I was young
When was it that I began to lose faith in myself?
Retracing the steps that led me here as I fade into the dark
Dreaming
Falling further
Lost in the cracks between living and dying
Helplessly watching myself fade to grey
Frozen in time as the color is stripped away
Retrace the steps leading back to here
Take me back to when I was young
Sword fights and paper guns
Retrace the steps leading back to here
One set of footprints that disappear
Take it away
The stars align and my conscious breaks
I am not alone
Give me another chance to be alive
A burst of light, and my vision blurs
It took too many years to learn
The sickness never ends if you’re fighting the cure
I’m killing myself
Identify the disorder because sickness never ends if you’re fighting the cure
