Dearest Me

lyrics

Where did all the sparkle go?
I remember that I used to know
How my eyes shone bright as the sun
On days where you & I were only one
How green the glass it used to grow
On days I felt a natural glow
From an inner source, so pure
Like a firefly, a leader so demure
I remember you with such clarity
I remember you cause you used to be me
A reflection in the mirror I can't quite retrieve
Faith in rebirth? Who am I to believe?

Dearest me
This is you internally speaking
I can see
You're lost inside your own being

Thought I knew all the cards this game could throw my way
Thought I could predict all the possible hands to play
Yet here I am
A hollow shell of what was once a man

Dreaming instead of being
Waiting instead of doing
Pacing round in circles instead of going
Using verbs in reverse of what you knowing
Chasing past in search of a new beginning
Ignoring signs without even realising
All cause you're too busy disguising
Over-thinking & analysing
Anticipating & vandalising you

Dearest me
This is you internally speaking
I can see
You're lost inside your own being
