(0348) views and focal points

i'm a synapse passing through a shell of what i used to think i knew. i had everything i needed. music to keep me company and books to read. i blamed the silence on myself. i never wanted to need help. i made a world to live inside, and i was certain it was right. and when you become so deluded, it's near impossible to see the truth. i was standing on a cliff, and now i'm laying in the sun. different views.. different focal points.. i no longer feel old. i feel young.

it's like that time i learned to listen during the movie's intermission. you should never stop paying attention. you should never stop reading the book.

but a million books couldn't save me now. i don't read anymore, and i don't know how.
i don't find their stories worth my time. i'm emitting my own light.

the past stays in the past, but i'll make something last. i don't know how, but i will try. i will try until i die, and i'll keep moving on alone.
