i feel everything

i'm consumed by my thoughts

words in my mind

lyrics say what i cannot

 

broken are the voices

sounds float in the air

the noise is loud

at the ceiling i stare

 

my ears fill with melodies

my heart is set free

my eyes drown in tears

i can no longer see

 

a blanket of darkness

a world of snow

where am i?

where did i go?

 

i'm floating through time

in a galaxy far away

2 billion trillion stars

there's the milky way

 

a glimpse of the sun

comets burning light

the moon in the sky

shooting stars in the night

 

a reflection in water

i see a face

i am not alone

what is this place?

 

a collection of feelings

every song ever played

a sense of familiarity

i'm no longer afraid

 

i'm looking at myself

from the other side

my image revealed

nowhere to hide

 

a different reality

in my room i sleep

my emotions escaped

with the memories i keep

 

i've forgotten reality

in my bed i lay

i'll always remember

forever & today
