Back to Reality -

There was a time when I seized the moment,

But now I’m forced to seize the past,

Clutching to faded memories,

Of times that I thought would last

Looking back I remember the day

When I was satisfied with life’s routine.

Things would always go my way,

And I was blind to reality.

Now that veil of optimism

Has been torn from before my eyes.

Exposing a rude awakening

To the emptiness of human life.

So now I’m forced to face this world

And the sight of it sickens me.

There isn’t anything I wouldn’t give

To be blind again to reality.

Ignorance is bliss

Masking this emptiness

Ignorance is bliss

How did it come to this?
