lyrics

The drowse that is not necessarily your own drowse.
The reconsider of things you once thought cool; the endless bitter mood.
This scene seems thin.


Something has to change,
but
this is how life is these days.
There is no reason
to be freaking out
over blandness.

Ever wonder what your acquaintances look like
as they sleep?
Can you imagine this?
There is a privilege to dreaming,
it’s a good shroud;
the dream is the private film
you don’t have to learn to share.



Not all films are to be made;
actually-
some things are better unmade at all.
Some words are better unspoken,
as well.
A good deny for being mute.

It’s not that you are not listening,
it’s that I am not talking.
It’s not that I’m not thinking,
I am just not saying words
out
loud.

There is a bit of a glass
between life and myself;
if you count the others as life
and yourself to be yourself.
The self you cannot fix,
it’s so set in itself
is this reality in motion?
or just an episode of vertigo?

Looking down from a point high up.
Overview is visual;
cannot hear much up here.
Cannot hear much at all over this tinnitus.
