Dissociation:
noun
the disconnection or separation of something from something else or
the state of being disconnected

Staring into an empty space
My mind and heart they feel displaced
My brain is shattered all over the place
My memory is in pieces, I can't escape
like a puppet held together with strings
I'm alone here in this empty cave
All by myself I forgot to breathe

Still as a machine
Googling how to breathe
This isn't normal
I feel fragile
My whole body's in a cast
Stuck in place
You think its funny
Lookin like a real life NPC
Come on let's go
Well I can't see
The darkness covers my eyes
I'm one big blurry disguise
Hiding behind a mask
I'm walking
Face flat, I hope you can't see inside I'm panicking,

I'm breaking, sound the alarm
The warning bells are ringing
Everyone's singing,
Chanting,
Awaiting.
When will this end?
It must've been a life time if I feel this αƞϲιεƞτ
Really its only been five minutes
On loop
Repeating the same motions,
The same words,
The same thoughts,
My ears are ringing,
Oh no they're just bleeding
