Losing Faith – Written Tuesday 5th January 1993 (Aged 17)

Losing Faith

Losing faith in this world we are living in.
Losing faith in everything I’ve got.
A distorted reality exists in my head.
Looking, insanity—he is king.
Everything has gone to pot.
Losing faith in all my morals.
I’m even beginning to wonder about my feelings.
Looking at the fuzzy television screen,
chaos—he rules, he is the king.
Maybe I am just a weird boy
with a bleak outlook on everything.
Last night, when I flew,
I saw strange shapes and heard broken screams.
All it was, was the demon that lives inside me
and all of you.
Losing faith in my dreams.
No screams, just beings that care.
Losing faith in this nice nightmare.
Losing faith in the people who so often—
think they are right.
Losing faith, all I do is lie awake at night.

James Garratt – Tuesday, 5th January 1993
