Sometimes life....

I’ve been afraid of changes
Trying to out run these feelings
No matter how far I travel
They keep following me
Like a bad memory can’t shake them

Sometimes life is just smoke and mirrors
Cause what you see might not be the truth
Everywhere there are masks
Dark places we fear to tread
But my mask keeps slipping

Knock me out give me no memory
Amnesia is what I need
So the visions will just fade
This new silence will be my friend
Taking away what’s been dragging me dow

Give me back my childhood
When the world was smaller
 Where protection was never needed
It was so much simpler then
Laughter came so easily
