lyrics

Headaches & nightmares
is what you can describe
my current days and nights as.

I sweat through the sleep
seeing vivid,
cinematic but real
motion images;
I wake up in a buzz all over,
occasionally stabbing between my eyes
or
between my ears
or any other sensory spot.
It is the brightness that wakes me
and makes me go mad.

I blame it on the sun-burn
-out;
I cannot wait for the rain to fall
and the UV index to go down.

Been feeling hazy
from a young age,
from when I had no friends
and had to make up my own entertainment.

Does that make the drowse a delusion?
Have I always been believing
in the lack
of the momentum,
but in truth that is just how it is?
There is no reason
to be freaking out
over blandness.

Do you know how you look like as you sleep?
is it real, or
just an empty state
an empty estate
a good deny for being mute, and
not thinking
not talking
not saying words out loud.

In silence one would hear all
and make sense;
cannot hear much all over this
tinnitus.


Did I forget the friends I had,
or did I forget to make friends?


your own self will come
and backlash at you.
