Engulfing all my senses Every other echo evaporates into the atmosphere up here I can smell your breath singing Taste your loneliness swimming Mine dives in with yours to copy your stroke The both of us learning together how to stay afloat Close one set of eyes to open another In this realm of consciousness we are both brothers Floating here forever, The real world can certainly wait I've felt nothing on the other side of the gate When the dogs begin to howl and all the bells toll I'll know that is the time in which to return home Until then I press repeat for another lap in my head Just five more minutes, I'm not quite ready for bed.
