It’s hard not to think the world is ending
The bright spring light, only ghosts outside, time is bending
A million things to better myself, but I just sleepwalk
Friends I could call, but I’d rather not talk
Bad dream cascading
Repeating until no meaning
I just need your company
Your voice to remind me to breath deep
Your voice to tell me the good things
Each day I see nothing but new flowers blooming
As I try to avoid all other humans
I could feel nothing but that bright spring light,
impending doom, and constant fright
Bad dream cascading
Repeating until no meaning
I just need your company
Your voice to remind me to breath
Clarity in calamity
Wide eyed search for reality
I just need your company
Your voice to remind me to breath deep
Your voice to tell me the good things

Wave

Tomorrow holds a mystery
Today I let the ocean breath
A release of grief, a moment to be free
I don’t want an ocean that evaporates
I don’t want this heart that always aches
Yesterday my chest concaved
Today I feel peace like a wave
A notion of free, a glint of relief
I want a wave that never breaks
I want a heart that never aches
I want to float an endless lake
I want a heart that never aches

Scroll

Enter the endless, empty scroll
It picks me apart, sells me whole
Skimming the news and it’s all noise
Static about erratic brutes
Wasted words on what we already knew
We’re doomed, oh no
I’m never free- chained to memories
Go outside- far from day-glo light
Ashes of aggregated apps
Dreams of screens growing from the grass
Saw a picture of something pure
But the image appeared so crude
Lost in a void so devoid of truth
Oh no, we’re doomed
I’m never free- chained to memories
Are they make-believe glowing from the screen?
Sit and want to cry, lost the will to wonder why
I’ll bury it underneath pleasantries and my feed

Real

Another day, wide eyed and alone
Staring at my phone
So much information
How can I retain it?
I’ll hold on to the parts that ring true
And hope I know the truth
Another way to connect with everyone
But I feel no connection
Just useless information
Why would I retain it?
I’ll hold on to the parts that feel real
I hope I can trust how I feel
Take a picture of the cotton candy sky
Why can’t I just remember it in my mind?
If I don’t digitize
Will the memory materialize?
I hope I can let what's true and real survive

Wednesday again
Flag half mast again
We forgot what for
Leave it down 'til the next war
It’s Wednesday again
Is that moon waxing or waning?
Either way, I start to cry
At the eagle in the violet sky
It's Wednesday again
What a boring day to be all tangled in

Fine

I do the things I was told I should
I stopped bad habits, even though they made me feel good
I drink water, take medicine, meditate, and try not to let it all in
And sometimes I feel fine, sometimes I lose my mind
I tried to let go of holding onto an old self
Built new routines, taking care of my health
I exercise, take vitamins, forgive myself for who I’ve been
And sometimes I feel fine, sometimes I lose my mind
Sometimes I feel better, but today I can’t get it together
