Stuck in my head all day,
thinking about things I already thought.

Forgetting that life is about more than just what we feel,
because what if what I feel isn't even real?

This world is built on perception
but when you only see one side, there's no real connection.

I wish I could stop worrying about what happened before
and what happens next and instead experience now,
it shouldn't be so complex.

Just live in the moment and not feel so numb.
Stop ignoring all my problems
and waiting for them to be done.

The world around me is blurry as I zone in and out
and I go to that place in my head
I never tell anyone about.

I can't seem to wake up,
it's like I'm waiting for some kind of salvation
but the only real salvation
is complete realization.

Of how I haven't lived in every moment
even though I know time slowly ticks,
inching closer to the last.

But I still waste my time letting my life go on past.
