My dreams were forsaken
I paint watercolor images
I hum a lost song
Whispers plague my mind
No more do I know my name
Cast away from the windowpane
Shattered were my memories
Inside my mind, I go insane
In a notebook beside my bed
They're faces I can't remember
Made up inside my head
As I look out to the sea
Chained up are my thoughts
Keeping me restrained, not free
Of voices from long ago
I sit upon the swing of time
And I mentally lose control
Or where I came from
I listen to the music inside
As I mindlessly hum
