Detached

Folder: 
2005

as the people dance around and the music plays

all of my logic inside my head slowly fades

I watch everyone from a corner of the room where I stand

singing quietly to the songs of my favorite rock band

but this feeling inside of me is taking me over tonight

and my body trembles as it poisons my blood with fright

all the people around me don't even feel real, they are disguised

it's like they are not really there existing before my eyes



and I am detached from them all

like I'm not even here

and inside of me the only feeling

I have is this terrible fear



every color in the room shines so bright

it's like every one has a little light

it almost stings my eyes when I glare

I want to look more but it hurts to stare

cause I am seperated from every color I see

there is a forcefield that seperates them from me

and I just sit and wonder what is going on

something is not right but I can't know what's wrong



and I'm detached from every color surrounding me

every single speck of color my eyes can now see

I am detached from everything, I feel isolated

I'm shaking from fear, I've never been so afraid

I'm detached from the music as it fills my ears

I'm detached from the pain that is causing the tears

do I cease to exist in this world, did my world start to crash

tell me what is wrong with me, why do I feel so detached
