Life can alter reality

I wonder where the past went

Watching those around me

Quiet grows within me

What happened to childhood?

I left it so long ago

And now that it’s behind me

I don’t know-don’t know where to go

Cuz everyone has a moment

Where they realize

That every opportunity

Should be grasped

Be clasped

And held tight

Oh, I feel so disconnected

I feel so out of place

I used to be connected

But now I grew

And they-they stayed the same

It’s not that I don’t want to be

The same as I was before

I have to let myself be free

Unstrap the ties that bind me

Even if that means my friends

I have to leave them behind

Life is full of surprises

I’ll discover mine alone

Does this mean

I can’t be happy?

God, I hope not

I have desires

To be happy

But this don’t do it for me

No more

I-I feel so disconnected

I’m put so out of place

I used to be connected

But now I grew

And they-they stayed the same

I watch them laugh

And be free

But I know

That’s not a part of me

Anymore

That part is gone

Muted in my soul

Cuz I needed-I needed room to grow

Oh, I feel so disconnected

I feel so out of place

I used to be connected

But now I grew

And they-they stayed the same
