Alien / Familiar by SHASMA

Alien / familiar

I think i've taken a wrong turn 'cause i've been lost again
My string has broken four turns ago in this labrynth
And I feel sick to the pit of my stomach

I feel empty, I feel frozen
I am weakened, I am broken
I've lost faith in this emotion
I've lost hope but it's unspoken
The only thing that I can see is that it's my fault for not watchin' where I was going

And you, you were a few steps on front of me
I was following you
I didn't intend to ever leave
I wish I had nothing to prove
I just pretended it was fun to be blindly in love with you
Now I have a question
Where am I?

I think i've taken too long now 'cause i've been procrastinatin'
Tell me what's new in this game
I have to get it over and done with
And I look back on the dream that i've just had

I'm not awake, at least not properly
I made the mistake of not leaving quietly
I feel a dawn break, I feel reality
My head does ache despite your lack of sympathy
The only thing that i can think about are these memories of a place and time that are alien/familiar to me now

You were a few steps on front of me
I was following you
I didn't intend to ever leave
I wish I had nothing to prove
I just pretended it was fun to be blindly in love with you
Now I have a question
Where am I?
