Specular Reflection - Between the Buried and Me

A twisted crash… vibrations forming my personal currency

A lifeline… a sweatbox, the linear mind as one

Who would have thought?

This distant face…

Distant life… never before seen

Deep sleep in deep sea

Nerves are torn from their ends

Distant life… never before seen

Deep sleep in deep sea

Nerves are torn from their ends

It has been three nights and still the puzzle is cut by a shaky hand

Carved out of improper materials… imperfect directions

A crushing sound soon awakes

Where am I?

The taste of sand wipes away the grime of my past life…

A crushing sound soon awakes

Where am I?

The taste of sand wipes away the grime of my past life…

The life I fled… the grip I loosened

It has all caused an even pressure.

The kind they show us on our screens

I’ve become what I’ve force-fed my entire life… a drifter’s dream…

a loner’s mind

Wanting what they have… their perfect smiles and heartless lusts

On night four, they come back

Awakening a new life

Over and over… like I’ve been there before

Living and breathing, but still choking

A mirror stares back.

I contort like the wheels in my head…

On night four, they come back

Awakening a new life

Over and over… like I’ve been there before

Living and breathing, but still choking

A mirror stares back

Still nothing happens.

Please wake up

I open my eyes to the smell of morning skin

The soft touch of your hair

Your breath I breathe in

I open my eyes to the smell of morning skin

The soft touch of your hair

Your breath I breathe in

I open my eyes to the smell of morning skin

The soft touch of your hair

Your breath I breathe in, breathe in

The reality chases and catches up on actual alertness

I’m awake… a daydream… alone.

Silence

This is the last few years rolled into one instance

I need something new

I jerk back in and out of a daydream self

A backwards day… water surrounds

A cool breeze wrapping its smell around my skin

I jerk back in and out of a daydream self

A backwards day… water surrounds

A cool breeze wrapping its smell around my skin

The midday siren awakes what was a false idea of sleep

Daydream society.

Walking past what we used to see

Beginning again

Beginning again

Walking into a certain state of…

Walking into a certain state of suffocation

Walking into a certain state of suffocation

Walking into…

Confusion surrounds… day after day

The questions I face… the dealings I deal

Do I complete me?

Do I complete humanity?

This day will determine it all

Mirror stares back again.

I contort like the wheels in my head…

Still nothing ever happens.

Please wake up

Mirror stares back again

I contort like the wheels in my head…

Still nothing ever happens

Please wake up
