Worlds Away
Summer at Shatter Creek Lyrics

You used to be so witty and so sharp
I remember when you were clever and full of energy.

With lots of energy and tons of heart
You were a passionate person with a lot of drive.

I think about how you were way back then
I reminisce about how things used to be.

A lot has changed
Things are different now.

I know you still dress the same but still
Your appearance hasn't changed, but something is different.

Your face it carries evidence of ills
Your face shows the struggles you've been through.

If life is just a bunch of memories
Life is just a collection of experiences.

Then what are these?
What are these experiences you're going through now?

I know all of the specifics of your life
I am aware of the details of your struggles.

The last two years have been one long dark night
The past two years have been a difficult time for you.

The tunnel's black and you don't see an end
You feel like there's no way out of your current situation.

From where you've been
From the things you've gone through.

I see you now and you just seem so blank
You appear empty or devoid of emotion now.

I recognize your name but not your face
I know who you are but you seem different somehow.

You sleep all day but even when you're awake
Even when you're conscious, you feel distant and disconnected.

You're worlds away
You're mentally and emotionally removed from the world around you.

I can't believe how long it takes to mend
It's surprising how much time it takes to recover from a difficult time.

Malpractice by the hand of just one hand
You were hurt by someone's mistake or negligence.

The world has simply turned its back on you
People have abandoned you during this time.

To make their line go quicker
They are ignoring you to focus on their own goals and priorities.
