Afflictions Awake a New Perspective

Every step forward, I take a step back.                                                                                

I wake up in a dark place, facing the sky.                                                                        

Jump back and forth from temporal lag.                                                                            

Sickly green stars shine down from up high.                                                                      

I wake up in a dark place, facing the sky.

The pale-yellow sun floats so close I could touch it.

Sickly green stars shine down from up high.

Wait, the Sun is gone. I wonder where it went.

The pale-yellow sun floats so close I could touch it.

To my left, a piercing red glow blurs my vision.

Wait, the Sun is gone. I wonder where it went.

Are those letters or numbers glowing in crimson?

To my left, a piercing red glow blurs my vision.

The world goes dark again; the Sun spatters out.

Are those letters or numbers glowing in crimson?

Blinking on and off again till I get up and about.

The world goes dark again; the Sun spatters out.

Except, I wake up on the floor, just aside my bed.

Blinking on and off again until I get up and about.

My brother at the lightswitch asks if I bumped my head.

Except, I wake up on the floor, just aside my bed.

I pass time as I walk. Or does time pass me?

My brother at the lightswitch asks if I bumped my head.

The faint tinklings of tinnitus, in my ears ring.

I pass time as I walk. Or does time pass me?

Addicted to a life trapped stuck in a box.

The faint tinklings of tinnitus, in my ears ring.

A world of imagination is what it unlocks.

Addicted to a life trapped stuck in a box.

But out of touch with the world, how can I comprehend?

A world of imagination is what it unlocks.

The physical reality on which I depend.

But out of touch with the world, how can I comprehend?

What do you do when your life is a dream?

The physical reality on which I depend.

Do you give it great focus or pay it no heed?
