Oh how I wonder what's behind this velvet rope
what really makes this thing go round
who am I shaming now?
what if stopping is not the answer
so many questions
so little time
under a microscope are we?
this is not possible
only a sadist would let us wonder around
like headless chickens stepping on heads
he must look away
dead subject, its never enough
maybe next time we can do better
like lost words in a muffled mouth
but maybe next time it will be found
the things that make us monsters and heroes
maybe that's what he wants
balance
promise you will say when my face starts to change
you will let me go into the circle
you will tell me what to say
he says he loves me but
all I feel is despair
sends me into the desert with an empty canteen
and millions of bottles with sand in them
sure some sand is grey others are yellow
but sand is always sand
maybe I'm going crazy
maybe I'm crazy already
here I am sitting in silence while
the screams keep me entertained
my screams, the worst one that you can't hear
if you begin to flake and your body tires
don't worry the desert will help you
it's comforting to sit
to feel the sand on your back
but don't stay too long or sand you will become
buried under the desert is a river of emotions
that sit still and never surface
because the desert is bigger
always rising more and more
A sea of fire
