lyrics

I haven't woken up all year
and if my body left the bed
it must've been without a head
and all you see is what's proffered
on the platter of my pillow
surrounded by my memories
like a little snow globe

dude, do not come shake me
you will only raise my worst
it's taken me five years to see
these dreams safely to the dirt.

I'm just copying the footsteps that
my head has legs to follow,
tracing backwards till I'm finished
suffocating my own shadow.

And if your guiding principle is nullifying
is it best act the caveman in defiance
and thereby amplify it?

Are you absolutely certain we create our own meaning?
Are you confidant enough to understand why you are dreaming?

And this is not good versus evil,
but I will not go on living in denial.
This is nothing but a spiral
and I guess that's my shape.

Take a breath and wait till the form breaks.
