The Life I Once Knew

that picture
that I hung on the wall
fell onto the floor
i felt it all turn cool
and I guess it is no more
that life I once had
caught in a place
i helped it pack its bag
i felt all the pain
as I called it a cab
these days are strange
there is no going back
that feeling I once knew
danced and sung
its way back into my life
a whole lot of fun
and a definite light
that life I once knew
found a sense of freedom
grew wings and flew
