A figment of bliss, Rotting at the edges, Sweet only in distance— In my mindless mind. A perfect prince—fresh, Too perfect to breathe, A love stitched together From things that never happened, In my mindless mind. An endless yard, Roots choking the soil, Blooms that don’t wilt— Because they were never alive, In my mindless mind. A gleaming fountain, Water that never runs dry, Stagnant beneath the shine, Whispering lies In my mindless mind. A streak so clean, An infinite loop, No beginning—no end— Just repetition pretending to be peace, In my mindless mind. Am I losing it, Or finally seeing it? This place I escape to— Is it shelter, Or a well with no bottom? Do I need saving, Or breaking— To silence the echo That sounds too much like me? Because this isn’t longing. It’s hunger. Not for love— But for something That can prove I still exist Outside Of my mindless mind

Mindless Mind (Darker Version)
A figment of bliss, Rotting at the edges, Sweet only in distance— In my mindless mind. A perfect prince—fresh, Too perfect to breathe, A love stitched together From things that never happened, In my mindless mind. An endless yard, Roots choking the soil, Blooms that don’t wilt— Because they were never alive, In my mindless mind. A gleaming fountain, Water that never runs dry, Stagnant beneath the shine, Whispering lies In my mindless mind. A streak so clean, An infinite loop, No beginning—no end— Just repetition pretending to be peace, In my mindless mind. Am I losing it, Or finally seeing it? This place I escape to— Is it shelter, Or a well with no bottom? Do I need saving, Or breaking— To silence the echo That sounds too much like me? Because this isn’t longing. It’s hunger. Not for love— But for something That can prove I still exist Outside Of my mindless mind
