Frequency Lost

We wake to sleep this phased existence
Our frequencies are lost and distant
So soulless but yet so innocent
It’s time to make it seem
I must redeem
I travel out, I journey in
The portal creeps and breathes me in
My light now fades and it begins
I am now parallel
This mind is just my hell

With all these lights and all this hate
My light is drawn, the mirrors wait
Now I am thrown, my light escapes
Now I must search, my sealed fate

There’s so much light there’s so much pain
Now that I’m blind they’re all the same
Now I will fall, my search in vain
Now I’m just wasting time
My mind begins to rhyme
An enemy that I call time will taunt me
Surprised I search and look behind me
This fear of loss and fear of time now stops me
I can’t remember this
What was I looking for?

With all these lies and all this hate
My fear now taunts my mirrored state
Now I fall, I build my wall
Forget my search, forget my fate

My shrouded face must breathe soon
I hold my breathe, soon death looms
My lies of fear, within they consume
Am I even me?
Other lights deceive
