I had a dream about an era
where the ego was a god
fit to be praised and raised on high
and catered to.
And then I woke up with a start
to find that era had arrived.
I was knee deep in it.
you were in it too.
I used to worry that the news was fake.
Now I worry that it's true.
I seem to be surrounded by the colour blue.
I had a dream about an era
where my parents had departed
and I had to learn to make myself anew
and then I woke up with the same old desperate need to be admired
clinging to me.
I cannot shake it loose.
I used to float
above my life
high as a gibbous moon
but now I'm down here floating
in the Colour blue
Oh if you happen to see me soon...
Restrain me. If you can...
I think I'm on the verge of turning
into something
I can hardly stand.
I used to be afraid of losing my way.
Now that's all I do.
I'm close to being lost
in the colour blue.
