I was snuggled in my bed like a sick kid. Prisoner of events with no defence. All these faces fading in a way. Unknown places falling. See all troubles, sinking, where to stay ? Remember someone day to day. How lovely it is to come back. Catch a breath, enjoy what's left. The hours replaced the days. Reading the clock, it was a maze. We are troubled in our heads, misplaced pieces. Hey, the comforter did surrender. Foreign voices wanting to know my name. Breathe out and in and feel the same. How lovely it is to come back. Catch a breath, enjoy what's left. The hours replaced the days. Reading the clock, it was a maze.

Fading 04:24
Express a balance of our surroundings. No boundaries fencing senses. No terms of reference to help us understand our feelings. Fear in a mirror as a last meal. Don't stress the strings hanging from the ceiling. Ocular seeings piercing through it all. Forced witness. Sit and watch reality lucid dream. Latching on to you. Closing many roads, for a change. This all looks the same. Fading. Ocular seeings piercing through it all. Forced Witness. Sit and watch reality lucid dream.

Lay Down 03:13
Floating away. Somewhere I thought we'd stay. I recall but I can't relate to what made me get into this state. I fall back through a tree. Tell me what you mean when you say I should think about things I don't comprehend. You know that I'm not in your head. Maybe one day we'll get on the same path. See time goes by so fast. She's the mother of stars. Becoming ours, laying down on cold grass. Grasp the memories of the past. Do you feel what I feel ? Useless conversations running down the street. Tell me what you mean when you say I should think about things I don't comprehend.

This is gonna take 3 months to dry. Guilty high like a regretful orgasm. I want to replace the fuse for the currents flow. It doesn't take much for it to blow. I heard the chant of the crow. Why is it we all want what other people have in their life? Don't complicate things to satisfy. I want to replace the fuse for the currents to flow. It doesn't take much for it to blow. I heard the chant of the crow.

Cut my own words, because they won't be able to describe this dream properly. It was such a long time ago, going back to the place that seems to have made everything. Quiet, lost on a pathway of cold stone. Surrounded by a mountain of physalis plants. The evening was approaching, lanterns burning glowing lights, dimmed like the ones that fireflies release. At the very end of the path, a tall wooden house, people staring with the faces of the animals of the woods. I feel peace in this gloomy atmosphere. It seems like I would stay here forever. The evening was approaching, lanterns burning glowing lights, dimmed like the ones that fireflies release.

The Root 02:20
Groundless root hanging dry in the light. Distant memory is all it has. When it's leafs were green. Dancing left to right. Drained to it's last hope of life. The dirt lays below teasing it's host. The root now misses him the most. When it's leafs were green. Dancing left to right. Drained to it's last hope of life. It can't recall the wet touch of the rain. Only the blistering punch of the sun. When it's leafs were green. Dancing left to right. Drained to it's last hope of life. Swinging in the wind misery is the company. Let it rest with it's pain. When it's leafs were green. Dancing left to right. Drained to it's last hope of life.

There is no reason to explain. What a shame this pain endured a heavy rain in vain. It already makes sense. In a sense there's no sense. It's not the weather's first change. Wide range of mixed feelings, this is the storm's 60th visit. Damn it, not again. No one asked any of it, desire to be above it. What a task. No one will ask any of it. There is reason to explain. Nothing makes sense. Weather has no choice to change. Storms keep on passing by. Each thing I do I rush through to do something else. Silence on the road for the space of an uncertain distance. It's only been 20 years but it feels like there's no time left. Each thing I do I rush through to do something else. Silence on the road for the space of an uncertain distance. It's only been 20 years but it feels like there's no time left.

Inner Child 05:02
Sleep till the Sandman takes you back. Back to an unknown mystery land. Sandman stands far but he's so close. A dose of a single gram of bliss. He writes a list till he breaks his wrist. I heard that infinity is scared of the Void. Saturating information drowning thoughts effortlessly. The Moon has been chasing the sun away. Inner child's perception of time left me to endure today's velocity. Asking the past to slow down. Remembering what you did till now. You allow ignorance to wear a silver crown. An obedient servant who lost his clock in this reign of time.

Two Sides 06:27
Two sides they oppose, sometimes confront. And i just wonder who is right, how is it ? There's a balance between both. But one can't be with the other. In the roots a wanting of getting away. Two sides they oppose, sometimes they confront. I just know things need to he made alone being necessary to my growth. It will come when needed, when the process trusts.

Existence got carried away. Floating in a capsule through space. Hands on the ground are left behind with no remorse. Just like a rotting corpse. Still in the same place as where I fell. My feet turn cold as they touch the ground. Blinded by the heard. Can't handle the difference. Why be the same ? Just to enter the game. Will it stay the same when things have changed ? I guess all is well. Winds in my hair. At the dreaming people I stare.
