When I was younger, it felt like i could change reality if i dreamed hard enough,
At night, as i drift to sleep beneath the glow of liquid crystal,
My thoughts would culture and bead,
rolling from my eyes into the ocean of stars
And somewhere among those shining isles,
a pearl would drop,
And offer an escape from this isolation.

I drown inside every pool.
I drown inside each shallow prison.
How am I meant to go on?
Should I fling my lungs open,
And let the void enter me?
Should I release these ballast dreams,
And let them free my burning insides?
Would that be enough?
These gilded whispers,
Will they nucleate my wounded heart?
