Trying not to lose my way-

Trying not to lose my way-

My story is nothing new-

Tragedy, hypocrisy-

Love, Darkness, Light, Laughter-

Looking forward to another day-

I'm trying not to lose my way-

I'm a ghost walking by-

A distant version of myself-

I'm a story; no it's not new-

I'm bruised, something borrowed-

And something blue-

I'm the word you don't want to say-

The thought lingering in your mind-

Inspirational ideology-

Transformed by a new world and old philosophy-

I'm trying not to lose my way-

I'm a ghost walking by-

Mediocrity turned to brilliant tragedy-

I'm following you-

You're following me-

Click, send, don't press rewind, select, and enter acronyms forward-

Take a stand-

Don't look back-

Looking forward to the next track-

Don't worry, I'm trying not to lose my way-
