As Always

I look at the smile in the picture But it's not a memory It's a stranger to me Before I was dealt this arrangement I lived in a lucid world Adolescent belief Alone I am weak to the breakers They bring every column down In a reckless desire And when they drift away They cover my face in a shadowed veil And leave me where I lay I sink into the mist to calm myself I listen to the doom A ritual I hold, but I still doubt what's really happening Yeah, I doubt that I could change a thing
