Gracious slumber giving way to
Colors, scents & sounds familiar
Feeling battered yet continue
A change of pace long overdue

Feeding wheels
Head over heels
The water‘s rising on the inside
Night to day and day to pain
A camouflaged usurper‘s reign

Enigmatic simplicity
A million veils of reality

What is life
A gift a curse a travesty
A mind that’s spinning round and round
A beacon on a burial mound

What is life
A gift a curse a travesty
Stuck inside the rabbit’s hole
Set adrift a dream
Control

Obligations, duties, urges
Circadian rat race
Dull and faint

Entangled tightly, tell me how
can we endure this
perpetual strain

Run, malice, run!
Escape the cradle
Your inner Babel
Finding shelter
Within yourself

A journey inwards
A task afield
A path to follow
A place concealed

To break the chains we disavow

Enigmatic complexity
A billion veils of reality

What is life
Your gift your curse your travesty
A mind that’s spinning round and round
A beacon on a burial mound

What is life
Your gift your curse your travesty
Stuck inside the rabbit’s hole
Set adrift a dream
Control

Bruised and wounded
Bent and broke
Paralyzed by fear of life
Too blind to see
The you in me

Spoiled and nurtured
Well acclaimed
A gorgeous mask
The me in you
Finding old when craving new

What is life
My gift my curse my travesty
A mind that’s spinning round and round
A vessel stranded underground

What is life
My gift my curse my travesty
Falling down the rabbit’s hole
A dream a nightmare
Lose control

What is life
Our gift our curse our travesty
Minds go spinning round and round
A beacon on a burial mound

What is life
Our gift our curse our fallacy?
Crawling down the rabbit’s hole
A distant mountain to behold
