Acid Mirror
(Verse 1)
My skin prickles hard like a thousand small cuts
Blood races hot through the veins and out of my gut
The room leans in and presses against my face
As if space itself wants to take my place
My stomach drops open into endless black
And the body I know starts coming unstuck
(Chorus 1)
I’m drifting through blissful confusion again
Where the walls of the self begin to thin
Every answer I reach for dissolves in my hand
And somehow that feeling is exactly the plan
(Verse 2)
Thoughts come in waves, then scatter like birds
One second profound, next second absurd
The clock on the wall is melting its face
While the floor turns to water and the air tastes like space
I try to speak but the words rearrange
Into something that almost makes sense… then changes
(Chorus 2)
Caught deep in this blissful confusion I stay
Watching the known world quietly fray
Nothing holds still yet nothing feels wrong
I’m falling through meaning and still belong
(Bridge)
The last thin thread of “I” finally snaps
And the silence that follows has weight in its back
I’m nowhere and everywhere all at the same time
A single pure note with no need for a rhyme
No edge left to fall from, no ground left to find
Just the open release of an unbound mind
(Verse 3)
The person I was dissolves into air
A shape without edges, a voice without care
I walk through rooms that exist only in thought
Each doorway opens onto time I forgot
The living are glass and the dead speak in light
And the universe watches without day or night
(Verse 4)
Beneath this world another one breathes
Infinite layers folded like leaves
I am the watcher and the thing being seen
The question that answers itself in between
All the lives I never lived gather near
Whispering truths that vanish when a try to hear
