Fragments Of A Dream

My energy deflated
All my thoughts, they wander far
Mistrust of my future
The guilt in my past

Other times it seems
It might not all be so blue
If I could change just simple things
Maybe I could bloom
Maybe I could be happy too

I can see it in my dreams
They're washing over me
An image of another place
Of where I'm supposed to be

Could I take a fragment
Or must I stay the same
An image of a better me
That fades when I'm awake
If they are who I truly am
Then why am I here
A hollow one,
Forgotten son

A phone call left unanswered
All of the words I left unsaid
All the mistakes I made
Everything I did instead
And I'm left with regret
Taunted by it constantly
I'm haunted in my sleep
I'm shown all that could've been
If I was anyone but me

Take this pain in my head
And the ache in my chest
End my torment and
Let new life grow instead
If I can't be there
Then I can't stay
There's nothing for me
