Every time I can’t shut my eyes
I think I’m blind
Elevator in my mind hits the sky
And breaks through
Beyond the blues
Things are hectic, mass rejections
You might think I’ve disconnected
Too eccentric, they’re offended
Overdependent and deflecting imperfections
Suspended in my resurrection
Interstellar interceptions
Inception
Can’t close my eyes at intersections
Infected by my reflections
I follow my shadows back to you
Turning into the turning in you
The yearning, the bright burning too
Clouds bring doubt and drought
Confusing abuse for truth
But breaking through like rainbow hues I am renewed
Letting go I move forward
Baby steps but I’m no coward
Eyes shut wide on the watchtower
Walls burst forth with wallflowers
And clowns fix crowns for zero hour
Circles find themselves surrounded
Blowing through spaces unfounded
Following the sound and staying grounded
Forget the fear, who’s laugh is loudest?
