I sleep with eyes wide open
I speak thoughts I know have never been spoken now
I dream in fifteen colours
I scream silently but over and over
Nothing to say
Nothing means nothing
Life go away
Life leave me something but
I can feel this world in motion
I can feel this world’s illusion
I can feel a world within me
I can feel this island spin me round
I try, I never reach there
I cry, intuition leading me nowhere
Nothing to do
Nothing to bound me
Life is untrue
Life all around me but
I can feel this world in motion
I can feel this world’s illusion
I can feel a world within me
I can feel this island spin me round
Living in an open space
Sitting in an empty place
Staring at a stranger’s face
Disappear without a trace
Nothing to say
Nothing means nothing
Life go away
Life leave me something but
I can feel this world in motion
I can feel this world’s illusion
I can feel a world within me
I can feel this island spin me round
I can feel this world in motion
I can feel this world’s illusion
I can feel a world within me
I can feel this island spin me round
Living in an open space
Sitting in an empty place
Staring at a stranger’s face
Disappear without a trace
Nothing to do
Nothing to bound me
Life is untrue
Life all around me but
I sleep with eyes wide open
I speak thoughts I know have never been spoken
