I guess that my lack of wanting to be anything but all alone is still haunting my fragile mind. From time to time I can still forget, but shall I tell you why it all went wrong? It’s because I just don’t belong. I just seem to detach myself from everything until I’ve distanced myself and I have nothing left but this sense of hope. This sense of hope that it will come clear - I just can’t ignore that. While holding these words like glass, with a brittle touch I fear that they would pass unnoticed by this world, this world amongst where those thoughts burned, where I can’t help but get lost in these echoed thoughts. I wish that I could just leave this all behind and forget what’s out of sight. Let’s leave this world behind ‘cause I can’t help but get lost in these echoed thoughts. I wish I could escape, but I can’t help but get lost.
