Memories, strong and fading;
Alive yet dead; happy but sad;
Good but bad; warm yet cold;
Memories: true yet all lies.

I used to wonder:
Who am I? Whose life is this is?
I waited for magic,
But only got shadows of people, of me.

Did I exist? Did I live?
Do you know? Do you know me?
I am looking for signs of my life
But it is all wilderness.

Was I ever judged?
Did I repent? Or was I crazy?
Did I love? Or was I an outcast?
Was I safe? Or always in danger?

Did I unite? Or fall?
Was I wise? Or but a fool?
Did I sing? Or keep quiet?
Was I loyal? Or did I betray?

Was I sad, or happy?
Was I angry, or helpful?
Did I shine? Or did I fade?
Did I listen? Or did I talk?

Memories: strong and fading;
Real yet fake; all but nothing.
Memories: true yet all lies;
Bright yet dull; loved yet hated.
