I lost the silence

Opened the void.

The toil of man;

a boulder and hill.

Labor under the sun

convinced of an answer.

Devoid of meaning,

in need of feeding.

Looking in the reflection

without inflection.

The blankest stare

looking back at you.

Looking in the reflection

without inflection.

The blankest stare

looking back at you.

Looking back at me.

what do you see?

what do I see?

A window of perception.

Which one is true,

a meaning or nothing?

I’ve lost the silence

and found the absurd.

Look back at the stars

and what do I see?

A world passed me by

and nothing to hold.

Lost in the absurd,

I find no release.

I find no reprieve.

No hold onto me.

Lost in my mind.

Locked in this room.

the demons they come

and gather around me.

Was it all a dream?

A dream I had,

where I was a man.

Where I felt alive.

All I’ve ever known.

All I ever did love.

Exists inside me.

Inside this room.

There is freedom

in losing hope.

There is freedom

in knowing yourself.

In knowing yourself.

There is freedom in knowing yourself.

Looking back at me,

what do you see?

What do I see?

A window of perception.

Take back this life, it was yours to keep.

Take back this world, only you knew it.
