I Am I am sharp and focused
I wonder what the camera really seesI hear the buzzing beeI see flowers in early morning lightI want to stop time in a boxI am sharp and focused
I pretend to be a statueI feel the shakes insideI touch the shutter buttonI worry about the blurry resultI cry that the moment has forever passedI am sharp and focused
I understand moments in timeI say let's freeze them foreverI dream of watercolor effects coming to lifeI try to see all the soft muted edgesI hope it happens somedayI am sharp and focused
