Oh, the days go by
Without me trying
Shiny wizards at the sky
My life complete
In certain ways
Until I feel the need
To walk away
From a life so empty
And my neighbours pale
Even seconds are wasted
When this body stands still
Stays in the past
And just lives for
Its memories
The brighter days
When sunshine meant happiness
And the darker clouds
Still owned grey shadows

Oh, the days went by
And I just grew old.
