Kaleidoscope

I lost myself again, walking along the damp city sidewalks

Scattering the pieces of my soul along the way

But now the fragments are just traces of the past

and no one is escaping this fray

I'm burning off the fringes that make me linger around you

Even though no one understands me the way that you do

I keep rebuilding my heart just so you can break it again

Thinking of you just wears and tears me down

All I need is a reason to crawl away

Time heals everything and everyone but it will never black out

the memories I'd rather forget

Why can't I live inside a Kaleidoscope?

Sleeping with the times I'd rather not forget

Dreaming with the stars that murmur while I slumber

and feel the colors swirl around the past somber summer

All I want is a world where I should always expect the unexpected,

help the neglected, and see through another's perspective

Why can't I live inside a Kaleidoscope?
Sleeping with the times I'd rather not forget
Dreaming with the stars that murmur while I slumber
and feel the colors swirl around the past somber summer
