Suspended Animation

Waves of warmth crash around me just like the womb

And I feel the pulse of each moment passing

More than I've ever known

I grasped with everything I had like I wanted this

More than the air that'd left my lung as the cold hit

Each lucid moment as it were my own

Each nerve and ending to bathe in the afterglow

In a dream I heard your voice clear as the day

And as I close my eye life is born again

Illusions colors wash away

Like autumn gold to winter grey

I saw your face as the weather shifted

Fading in and out of suspended animation

I arrived at the place where no lights shine at all

And I'm reminded nothing is real here

In this parallel

I lie under spinning stars

Beneath the weight of these abstraction

Exhausted more in each lingering second

Lost in cyclical patterns

These repetitious scene induce unrealistic expectation of a

Night more vicious than the dawn

More vicious than waking life

Within this trance you're with me

But this vision won't last for ever

And I'll wake once again

As sunlight breaches the morning haze

To retrace my steps

Through a darkness so luminous

Lit by only your passing flame

Eye open

Is it the future you fear or what you've become nothing

The weight of this reality is no longer your to bear

So move forward nothing is real here
