I wake up
I stare at the void that's above
Content that it won't be too much
And nothing can come undone
The light clicks
The bulb is as bright as you'd think
But somehow despite all of this
The room is still white, you see it's unchanging
How it is
How I live
There's a girl and there's boy
And they fight over their toys
Even though they both should know to simmer down
There's a brother with some stamina
A boy who loves his camera
A sister who looks after everybody else
In shades of blue
And violet, and indigo, too
A vibrant hue
I'll take my cue
The symphony resumes
And I'm-
Awake in my room
Tell me to close my eyes
And I might just try it
Not so violent, shades of violet
Seeing in white and pastel shades
So that dark and black don't eat me away
In my mind
The chords align in
Perfect time and pitch and rhyme, still
Why is the melody that's played
So soft, it seems to drift away?
This tune has played too long
But I'm okay
My friend's gone
I couldn't have told you how long
I couldn't have said what was wrong
But somehow I think he's lost
I don't know
Wherever he maybe would go
But he's left his plants here, and so-
I'll stay here and water them, no need to leave-
Where I am
With my friends
But they say I have to go
And the next thing that I know
I am climbing up a ladder in the sky
But my friend, he isn't here
So I go back down the stairs-
Or the ladder-
Stairs-
No-one's there-
In spiders
Or in water, a desert or two?
What should we do?
In polaroids there's something there but
I'm reminded that within two days I move
Tell me to close my eyes
I will gladly try it
Not so violent, shades of violet
Seeing in white and pastel shades
So that dark and black don't eat me away
In my mind
The chords align in
Perfect time and pitch and rhyme, still-
Why is the melody that's played
So soft, just as I drift away
This tune has played too long
But I'm okay
The light that still surrounds me
Is fading soft and slow
The further that I'm searching
The deeper that I'm thrown
The eyes are on my ceiling
The eyes are in my head
The eyes are watching me
And they're telling me she's-
Stitching, cutting, sewing, playing
As my heart is palpitating
Intestines are spilling broken
To escape, please saw him open
Watch his face and watch it closely
Doors that shut reopen slowly
Wounds are searing, disappearing
Harming me, I'm interfering
Polarising polaroid's
Reckless, harmful, little boy
Careless, breaking up his toys
Traumatized by harmless noise
Strings break
Every single mistake
Piling up, I can't take
Anymore, my chest aches
For her sake or mine?
My time rewinds
The further that I go
The harder it becomes
To understand myself
So what if I succumb?
I've lost my right to be
The things that I can't see
Are eating at my brain
And telling me I'm weak
Tell me to close my eyes
And I might just try it
Not so violent, shades of violet
Staring at white and pastel shades
But the dark consumes me anyway
And over time
This world of mine has
Crumbled into silence
Why does this dissonance still play
So soft, and why do you still sway?!
Close my eyes
Or I'll slip by, and
Watch my silence turn to lying!
Painted in white and pastel shades
As bloodied darkness coats my face
This tune has played too long
It's all gone wrong!
I'm facing places beyond what I thought was okay
In this space
That I've made
This tune has played too long
In this headspace
