how do the lucky ones feel themselves?
for me it seems only like a foolish hope to be bred
never in the moment, i'm a lost cloud instead
a wandering soul, a floundering girl
locked not only in but also out of my headstuck in an illusion, reality doesn't feel quite so real
there's a shivering mist blanketing through my mind
there's a significant part of me i just cannot find
- how do the lucky ones feel themselves?
i find only echoes when i reach out for myselfmy mind's not mine, my body's not either
i just live in it, like paying rent to some stranger
half of me is gone, half of me is here
now i don't know which part of me i can feel
which part is rotten, which part is real
who are you, oh familiar stranger in the mirror?
madness luv x
