Capture me from Letting me down


Capture me from letting me down For I have no comfort under these lights and the rules that I do not know applies The feeling I have is never encouraging So capture me from clawing Capture me from failing I no longer realize my heart beating and the beep beep just sound alarming The hurt and pains are not fiction So capture me from falling Capture me from the wakes For I kicked my own happiness for believing and those dramatic scenes are repetitions For the ones I dear for are actually not darling So capture me from hoping Capture me from dreaming Lying down alone; as usual, covered with thoughts as my blanket get wet with the sweat of my intentions all night long I am trying, I have walked almost to the end, yet can’t reach far So capture me from feeling Capture me from choosing Is it that our facts in fact are not that factual? Or maybe the bases of our interests are no more basics but just an interim basis of meaningless grievances So capture me from craving Capture me from standing Picking between sorts and out; I preferred standing out and still got sorted If we can’t fall off the ground; how did we get lowed as the floor? So capture me from looking Capture me from all these memories Sometimes we get honored and no one remembers us though We struggle to claw, we fight to stand and we bleed as we fall How would we pick up back, when we don’t know where we lost? So I promise not to believe anymore, but capture me if I am letting me down
