lyrics

the pattern is forming faster now;
i'm out of it
we run parallel, i'm slightly lulled,
and now i'm calling it.
close my eyes and count to ten
i'm seeped in violet
slipping, slipping under now
finally i've found that
consciousness is mist;
i've missed the clarity i've found and

i think i know how i feel
i know everything
i think i'm so wrong
about everything
it was out of reach all along;
everything

absent minded care
when who i've cared for disappears
i'm overloaded by the love of others-
it distorts into fear.
i handled you with caution to gain some time.
i handle them with caution so i won't break what I don't want to be mine.
how big of a narcissist am i?

i thought i knew how i felt,
but still fell short of everything
was i wrong about or was i scared
of everything
i won't find out, i'll never solve
anything

-

This is about a dream i had which stemmed from the general feeling that things i care about have been significantly absent from my life. There is some language i used here that i don’t agree with (“be mine”) and it was included to criticize the language- not to promote it- language like this perpetuates the patriarchal notion that relationships are about owning and/or subordinating others.
