I forgot that I might see so many beautiful things

Got up early, found something's missing - my only name.
No one else sees but I got stuck, and soon forever came.
Stopped pushing on for just a second, then nothing's changed.
Who am I this time, where's my name?
I guess it crept away.

No one's calling for me at the door
and unpredictable won't bother anymore
and silently gets harder to ignore.
Look straight ahead, there's nothing left to see.
What's done is done, this life has got it's hold on me.
Just let it go, what now can never be.

I forgot that I might see
so many beautiful things.
I forgot that I might need
to find out what life could bring.

Beautiful things...

Take this happy ending away, it's all the same.
God won't waste this simplicity on possibility.
Get me up, wake me up, dreams are filling this trace of blame.
Frozen still I thought I could stop, now who's gonna wait.

No one's calling for me at the door
and unpredictable won't bother anymore
and silently gets harder to ignore.
Look straight ahead, there's nothing left to see.
What's done is done, this life has got it's hold on me.
Just let it go, what now can never be.

So many beautiful things...
So many beautiful things...

Now what do I do?
Can I change my mind?
Did I think things through?

It was once my life - it was my life at one time.

True Happiness

True happiness is of a retired nature, and an enemy to pomp and noise. It arises from the enjoyment of oneself, and in the next, from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions.
~ Joseph Addison
