Lavender Skies

Can you feel you don't belong?

This setting feels so wrong,

flat like cardboard, a surreal past

your mind has left too fast,

your body left behind

with only empty shells to find.

Look at the lavender sky

with flames in its eyes

hear the ghosts and dark lies

They haunt you

They want you

you're gone

moved on.

The past is like a nightmare

that just wont let you go

the sinking sun that seeks you

Why? you don't know.

Can't they feel you don't belong?

but you've always been wrong

but you're already gone.

The mind flown to flee the leaving

the body here still not believing

The lavender sky still deceiving

as it turns to ash

Freedom's all I ask.

I'm not quite here and not quite gone

In this Lavender Limbo I don't belong.
