Endlessly, Drifting away.
Mountains lay underwater where I’m headed.
Closed eyes change route.
What we perceive, slowly becomes us.
Now, See? We’ll never get to see.
What a beauty they managed to hide behind their past.
This state of dreaming becomes the new reality.
Can’t shake off, can’t wake up,
Maybe I slept too long?
This is not what I want.
This is not what I was.
I swear I was fine,
Lurking and getting by.
Haunted by visions, I…
Do I live or did I die?
A broken shell.
Drifting away, endlessly.
