This is what it feels like

I see you so clearly

But I know I’m dreaming

This is what it feels like

When the soul is watching

Hysteria

Those familiar moments

Only the madman knows the truth

I see the ocean, beautiful

Only a mile away

What I’ve always dreamed of

I’m only staring at the surface, I realize

I have a sudden longing to go down

To the nothingness, to the deep end, down and down

This is what it feels like

I flipped and turned

This is what it feels like

Jumping into the bonfire

Destiny is logical

I am the mother of dragon or the inferno will burn me down

Chance to be reborn

I see the future… the unknown

As I take a deep breath, ready…

You turn around

I gasp

Nothing prepared me for this moment

As you reveal your face

This is what it feels like

Art, dream and life… surprising yet inevitable

That shall pass

Horror, terror, or bliss

I know how it feels now

Like many times before

But tell that to the prisoner

There is no window

Tick…tick…tick…
