I sit alone
in a room, untouched
my senses have no rule
over this place
the air is still
no noises, no sounds
I see nothing
as if long black hallways
were in every direction
that I happened to look
I try to stand
the chair is gone
I try to look at where it was
all I see
an abysmal
dark, pit
under everything
above me
the ceiling was not there
and I felt my heart
quiver
this unnatural
wonderland
is where I just happen
to stand
I watch
I see a face
familiar, but not so
it fades to dust
the dark space as once
is ash again
the loneliness fills me
as never before
and I close my eyes
to see no more.

Struggling to keep my hold
on all of this
why would I try
to keep what is lost
because it’s all I have
and it can't be replaced
if I lose my mind
then I’ll never find it
if it floats away
it’ll never come back
so why would I
you ask
try to stay and contain myself
I don’t contain myself
I’m trapped in the grip
of malicious fog
the mist dissolves my heart
my mind goes first
then where would I be
somewhere
nowhere
for eternity
the trees will close in
the smile will fade
and then what will I be
where would I be
at the end.

My thoughts are lost
in a high up cloud
my thoughts are lost
beyond my shroud
my thoughts are lost
in a puff of smoke
my thoughts are lost
but I think it’s a joke
my thoughts are lost
beyond these dreams
my thoughts are lost
past all of my bursting seams.

I see a bright red bird
silently glide past the lake
and try to follow it
I didn't know that it was a mistake

I see a bright red bird
fly into a forest dark
I did not know right then
that it would steal my heart

I see a bright red bird
disappear from sight
and waited for hours
then decided to stay the night

I look for the bright red bird
and eventually fall asleep
now I can soar and fly
but I'm still confined in a daydream.
