Illusion

The sky is dark.
Glittering with endless stars.
And I'm lying here so close yet so far.
The sun comes and goes.
Yet time is frozen.
And I'm drowning in the deepest sea.

Everything that I once knew is gone
And I don't know who I am anymore.
All the leaves have turned to red
And I can't get this out of my head
I am so torn.
Should I brave the sea or stay ashore?

The lights are low.
In this world so far from home.
And I've been nothing but all alone.

Everything that I once knew is gone.
And I don't know who I am anymore
All the leaves have fallen down
And the rain floods the ground
I am so torn.
Should I brave the sea or stay ashore?

The person that I thought I was is gone
And I've had enough of this illusion.
All the leaves are green again
And I hear the sea whisper my name
I won't hurt anymore.
I'm at home now so far away from the shore.
