I'm awake
but did I ever fall asleep?
My dreams, just stencils of real life
the outlines lay outside anything you know
have seen
ever been a part of.
And does it bother you?

Does it bother you to know
I'm twelve people, none of which you know?
None of which exist anymore, but me
I'm just the stencil of who I used to be.
And does it bother you?

Well, I don't see why it would.
We're twelve people removed
I'm twelve boyfriends behind your current one.
And it doesn't bother me
I'm the one who said it'd be alright.

Moving on, you've moved on
I'm still right here,
like I always am.
Like I've always been.
Like the earth to the stars,
they move away and I grow old.
They live forever
in the memories of the skies.

And I'm alright,
I'll always be.
I'm static and I'm free.
Something you always disliked in me.
But what's not to like,
I've never changed.
I'm still right here.
My mind is the only thing that wanders.
