Just because there's words
Doesn't mean there's a thought behind them.
(The slate was wiped clean.)
Just because my eyes are open
Doesn't mean I'm awake.
(I fell asleep long ago.)
I may be hearing
But that doesn't mean I'm listening.
(I've tuned into another station frequency.)
I may have been touched
But that doesn't mean I feel.
(I'm long past numb.)
Though I eat
I shan't taste.
(The food has been bland since before this.)
And no,
I wouldn't want to wake up.
(Your world is terrifying.)
My mind's eyes are completely closed
I like where I am.
(My world is nice. My world is safe. They can't get to me here.)
I'm in my bubble.
How far gone am I?
How far gone am I?
I can't take
All the pain I see.
(It shouldn't effect me.)
I feel like screaming
At the world.
(As if that would do anything.)
It's like torture
Seeing this.
(Because I can't help you. I don't know how.)
You're hurting,
So I'm hurting.
(I feel lost, you're always my constant.)
What do I do?
How can I help you?
(Please don't go! I need you...)
No matter what I do
I always seem to hurt you.
(I've never meant to.)
When I try to fix things
I break them.
(Maybe I should just start breaking things instead.)
It's insanity.

How far gone am I?
How far gone are we?
We're dead
Our bodies live.
But our minds are so far gone,
No one could find them.
Our bodies live.
But our minds are so far gone,
No one could find them.
So may we travel the deserts of our minds,
Until we find them.
Until we're not lost.
Until we're found
Or we find our own way out.
Sometimes,
Voices penetrate the dark.
They beg,
And beg for us to come out.
But which way is that?
Where are you?
Are you stuck here too?
Will I ever find you?
Can we get out together?
Or will we drag each other down?
And sometimes it seems like the voices are louder,
Other times,
Getting farther and farther.
No more than a whisper,
Or screaming in my ear.
The voices bring memories
And the memories, faces.
Faces I want to be near.
But they're so far,
So far away.
And the memories, faces.
Faces I want to be near.
But they're so far,
So far away.
We're lost
But, eventually, we'll find our way out.
The left and right are two different people, but the middle is both of them.
