all my memories are wrong
the world keeps on spinning and spinning and spinning,
around me everything crumbles and breaks
crawls back inside its cave

a sea in the middle of the night
and this sudden, sharp realization

i want to be okay
i want to be okay
i wan-

just for now
please have mercy

but anything i touch dissolves into acid in my hands
it burns so bright in my chest
fake colors
layer over layers

when can i come home?

the grass around the water
dimly lit
by fire alarm blaring
my bare feet cut on the egdes

it hurts
just sitting there
pain in my chest from the licking tongues of the fire burning and burning
everlasting pain

quick vision
i've been seen
now run
run until they cannot catch you anymore

faces in the trees
pretty
daring

tip over the edge
it's easy
i'm falling into the feeling
further and further away from home
branches break where i try to cling on

sadness
in the deep, dark pit
brown, dead leaves
no colors anymore

it's all nothing

i wish i could run

______

i literally don't know either, okay
