It was never meant to be
A distortion of reality
With the evidence after the fact
The story is always in tact
Faith in the future
Leaping forward
Without looking
Down
Bullets falling on the floor
Perfect order
Drawn into the plan
Cue the press, desensitize
Perfect order
Drawn into the plan
Bound to the script
I can't read ahead
Leave it to the playwright
Blank pages to be read
Ink to the paper
Action before plot
The moral of the story
Later to be taught
Connecting the dots
The picture’s in plain sight
Number to number
The pencil knows what to write
The sequel before it ends
The playbook forced to bend
Telling tale after tale
N
When all you hear is noise,
The loudest voice is right
Always right
When all you see are walls,
There’s nowhere left to go,
So you are
Drowning out the voice of reason
Amplifying your own
Normalize your own perception
You’ll never be alone
Reflections of yourself
Extended out for miles and miles
With mirrors all around
The outside seems so far
So you are
Drowning out the voice of reason
Amplifying your own
Normalize your own perception
You’ll never be alone
Surrounding yourself with reflections
You bask in your conceit
Patching up every single hole ‘til your
Echo chamber’s complete
[We’re all the her
The last thing I remember
Is getting closed inside
Powerless and helpless and
Petrified
Trapped inside this capsule of a life
I can feel my world shifting, drifting
Beyond my control
Fighting just to breathe
Blinded to the outside
Knocking from the inside
Let me out!
I can only see this world,
But I know there’s more outside
Hidden beneath the surface
I can see it in my mind
Spiraling away
Everything I’ve known, destroyed
Drifting into nothingness,
We are drawn into the void
Floating through the endlessness
Spinning in this weightlessness
Disconnected consciousness
Infinite nothingness
Blinded to reality
Disembodied, I can
Have you heard this before?
The same flow, the way it goes
Like a familiar face
In an unfamiliar place
You know you’ve heard it before
We all know the way it goes
And they all know how
You’ll just listen anyway
We’ve all heard it before
The same song a thousand times
This was never meant to be
Wish I could burn it to the ground
Can you hear it?
Can you see it through the sounds?
Don't you worry someday,
They may figure you out?
Have you heard this before?
We all know the way it comes
Familiarity
Is what you’re wanting it to be
You know you’ve heard it before
We all know the way it goes
It sounds exactly the
It’s so clear, it’s so apparent
So why don’t you understand?
In every single case
You maintain the upper hand
Living in our separate worlds
We’re selectively connected
Like light through a glass
My words are misdirected
My input is always refracted,
Rejected or misunderstood
Dismissing other perspectives
As if it would do any good
We’re speaking the same language
But sometimes I’m not so sure
The glass is becoming darker
Your intentions are growing more obscure
Are we from such different places,
That you cannot see my side?
Would it be so difficult
If only you had tried?
My words hitting a wall
The pai
Do you really know
What you can feel?
Is it real?
Do you know?
Can you take in
What surrounds you?
Is it there?
Have you noticed
The system all around you?
Do you really know
What you can hear?
Is it real?
Do you know?
Can you see
What surrounds you?
Is it there?
Have you noticed
The glitches all around you?
I can see changes in
Everything I’ve ever known
Breaking down
Virus, glitches
Infiltrate your system
Programmed logic
Coded in the system
In what my brain could never see
The hollowness in the fabric
Of my reality
I am the system
My eyes are opened to the same room
The same place, the same time
My surroundings without any variation
Everything is by design
My goals are set, my path is clear
This constant loop, my destiny
And as I carry on my daily undertaking
I hear a whisper from within
Don’t you see what’s happening?
Coming to the realization
That there’s something more
The story we’ve been given
Isn’t our own
Navigating my subconsciousness
To find out where the puzzle ends
Coming to the center of my soul,
The core of myself
My eyes are open to the nature of this world
It wasn’t always what it seemed
And as I try to organize m
And so I, I was waiting for the end
The conclusion that never came
At first I was relieved
Drifting peacefully, sleeplessly
Over time, I came to comprehend
This unbroken, unceasing journey to nowhere,
Forever dreaming of sleep
Longing for brevity and reveries,
For days without a care
The infinite is all that I have,
And nothing can compare
Limitless memories
Far too much for me to contain
In this perfect stillness
Only thoughts remain
Perpetually alone
This unbearable solitude
In this perfect silence
Impossible magnitude
When will this life fade away
Carried to some tranquil place where
Distant memories all fade away
Laid to rest so I can
