Is This Really My Life

All is left is just a shadow
As I go about my day
Pretending to be fine
Days and years seared
On the palm of my hand

Is this really a life
Walking on the side line
Colors fading to blur
When all the flowers wither
If only dead stars shine forever

Memories I won't fear
I laid them down along my soul
When in the moment is fierce
And harnessed from tears
It's easy to switch between roles

But here I am just living a lie
And I long for this other world
Where my dreams would have matter
But the days 'n years are scared
On the palm of my hand
