Into the air
Goes my sense of reality
They’re on my side
But their colors are blurred from sleepless eyes
I can’t remember my dreams
When they used to be about me
It’s really quite calming to know I’m not
Responsible for letting myself down
But everything is changing at once
And all I can see are the arrows that seek me
With every single footstep made
My search turns up empty so maybe it’s not to be
My eyes keep sinking
With every hour they’ve spent awake
My bones don’t rattle
They never will
My eyes keep sinking
From every symbol I have to read
My bones don’t rattle
They never will
Always casting on the world-weary
It’s really quite calming to know I’m not
Responsible for letting myself down
But everything is changing at once
And all I can see are the arrows that seek me
With every single footstep made
My search turns up empty so maybe it’s not to be
My eyes keep sinking
With every hour they’ve spent awake
My bones don’t rattle
They never will
My eyes keep sinking
From every symbol I have to read
My bones don’t rattle
They never will
What are these ghosts in the empty
Alone with my consciousness
Pulling strings on what I used to be
We all have our pride, mine’s just in a box in the ceiling
What are these ghosts in the empty
Alone with my consciousness
Pulling strings on what I used to be
We all have our pride, mine’s just in a box
So goes life in the in-between
Feeling comes second to the host
I need a rest from all the worthlessness
Do I even exist
I can’t remember my dreams
When they used to be, used to be about me
