Change the Words

I’m suspended again
Restless and trapped in lies
Waiting here to feel
A touch that might seem real
All alone in the dark
An end reflects from my eyes
Looking here for signs
Or something quick to silence the cries
Change the words
Rewrite the story
That I’ve etched deep inside
Be cruel
Let the truth sink down
And this hope might fade away
The dark reality’s here
To show me
I’m not the one
I’m surrounded again
With plans that I can’t fulfill
Searching here to find
An image of a happier life
Gripping harder each day
Like sand it falls from my hands
And the tighter that I try to hold
The more I have to just let go
Change the words
Rewrite the story
That I’ve etched deep inside
Be cruel
Let the truth sink down
And this hope might fade away
The dark reality’s here
To show me
I’m not the one
The dark reality’s here
To show me
I’m not the one
