Analysis of Fixation Deterioration
I can feel as I decay
Day by day
Derailing this train
Refusing to stay
On a broken old track
Turning its back
In the ashes of my mind
Searching for memories
I wish to find
But now it seems
Like I’m blind
Oh wait!
Hold On!
I had more to say
Oh F*#k
Never mind
It already ran away
