It's hard to be optimistic when you wake up from dreaming
To the feeling that everything is fading
And you're reminded of the way it was like a baby in a dollhouse
With no self-control and a head full of addictions
I listen to the TV static and everything feels so cold and blue
And I feel like nothing at all
Just a memory of the past, the lake, the sky
Voices
Telling
Me
I'm
Never
Good
Enough
I look out the window and I remember the time
I walked past your house and the lights were out
So I wrote a letter to you
But I'm not sure you ever read it because you haven't responded
Now I see you in a psychedelic dream, a psychedelic scene, my face in a sea
Withering with every tide and every sunbeam
I sleepwalk through this overgrown forest and my eyes get hazy
Like a cloud of lethargy coming undone in ribbons
Remember how we stayed up all night, burning in every colour
Talking to empty ghosts of tomorrow
You promised me the rain, an eternal summer of love
But now I'm a dying angel
Life feels like a lucid dream, and I've spent a lifetime
Thinking of the perfect thing to say
We are the architect of stars
Blinded by every car as we slip through traffic
Time
Flows
Back
To Me
Like
A
River.

So much sadness in your writing . It’s very difficult to not feel good enough .. I’ve had that feeling many times in my life .
