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
