I stayed up again
Forgot how to dream
My hands don’t feel like they’re part of me
Staring through the ceiling cracks
Waiting for the sky to fall back

I move like someone else’s thought
Half-formed and already lost
My shadow doesn’t line up right
It slips behind
Avoids the light

Why does it hurt to know I’m real
If I’m just dust behind the wheel
And when I’m gone I’ll lose my face
No time, no light, no empty space
I’ll be blank earth, I’ll be blank earth

The air is thick, my bliss erased
I blink and the room forgets my face
The walls pull back, erase the trace
Of everything that knew my face

No heaven waiting
No light inside
Just silence stacked a mile high
And all the noise
I made in life
Will vanish in a single night

Why does it hurt to know I’m real
If I’m just dust behind the wheel
And when I’m gone
I’ll lose my face
No time, no light, no empty space
I’ll be blank earth, I’ll be blank earth

I won’t know I ever was
No fear, no love, no pulse, no buzz
And If I scream, who’s left to hear?
The echo dies…. Then disappears
