trying to catch the vibrant butterflies,

stretching my hands out to the azure skies,

running alongside the incessant streams,

as i suddenly start to fall down.

deep & deep & deeper

deeper into the gaping abyss,

i try to catch my breath for a moment.

just for a moment,

until i can't breathe anymore.

can't stop myself from falling deeper,

until i can't feel anymore.

can't fall any deeper anymore.

but just then, i find everyone around me.

falling down, deeper, faster, alongside me.

what is this abyss?

can't turn around anymore.

noises & blares & muffled voices,

echoing in the vast background ---

my eyes shut close and hands pressing against my ears,

the throbbings & silent whispers profound.

want to hold the swirling breezes,

want to touch the scorching sun,

want to straighten the messed up creases,

want to let the secrets discern.

i can't stop me,

can't stop me from setting myself on fire,

and burn so, so, bright,

until it burns their own fucking eyes.
