Dimensions

Inside my mind is a paradox when I reminisce about you with my filter off. I can speak about you but simultaneously be relating it to all the evils within myself.. The ones that I give into and live for.. The ones that escape my brain crawling out through wormholes. That's when I forget why I even wanted to remember for, tell me what for? I want to know why we disguise our emotions Sweeping 'em under the welcome mat of the front door, kind of hypocritical, tell me what for? That's what happens when the cadence of your heart meets the agony in my eyes.. Lost in our untimely consciousness.. That's what I'm always caught up in. I don't have to confess, you can see it on my face.. Adrift in space.. Assaulting myself by replaying memories.. How can two things be so wrong, so undone yet wound up in one? Reminisce reminisce, stop traveling back in your mind. Instead cast the feelings out among the stars, let 'em shine.. They float so far, they stay out of sight. But creep back up in the dark of the night. What's real shines through.. If ignorance is bliss then I guess I'll make a wish too. My little nightlights.. They literally are a piece of mind. Because when I'm zoned out I'm seeing my feelings that were lost in time..
