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
