Looking, hearing, senses spilling
Not leaving myself behind.
Hoping, crying, wondering
Do I have nothing to realize?
Screaming, praying, fearing
Adhering to existing outside my mind.
Severing away all ties to me, emotions are astray,
I'll will them out of all I ever knew
Or mold them back into what I still think is real,
The dream that slowly grips
And plagues my mind.
Seek it inside, to truly live and die
Or let the dream carry me.
