Depths II

All the world was a dream I couldn't shake

In a midnight reverie of which I'll never wake

That started mundane enough

With an incessant tapping on the windowpane

Separating me from the storm

Where inside I sat, me, the loathsome fool

With my head cocked sideways in confusion

As my looking glass became a two-way mirror

And you can watch me hide from everything

On this living sphere

But don't you dare darken my doorstep, stranger

Never a step more

No, no, nevermore!

You see, I have this reoccurring dream

Where we snuck past scores of slumbering guards

And fixed that rustic iron key to that lock to set you free

I would bring you liberty!

Where in reality I'm a coward

I'm collateral matter

Swayed by banalities of time and space

I'm a name without a face

My trepidation reached threshold

And my terror turned to madness

When I awoke I was swinging at shrouded silhouettes

And stumbled out the door

Where my anger was extinguished by this downpour

Compelled, void of volition

My steps propelled through this chronic storm

Where there in the clearing

Throughout the gaps in the trees

Dark smoke flickered from fire illuminating my unease

Like clockwork

Seven sisters turned together in a circle

Autonomy abandoned

They moved singular and perpetual

Around a dark blue flame

Where I heard you call my name

I am the fire that is never quenched

And I am the river that will not run dry

When I slept in that garden

Lord did you see me as I was dreaming?

This is the end of everything

We'll lose our divisions and forget our names

The precipice of eternity

I caught fire

I caught fire

I caught fire

And you'll watch me burn
