I followed the trail into the centre of the spire
The comet, blinding, dripped in the sky above
Hardly remembering to blink or respire
I made a silent pray for the people I love
My eyes closed and I took one final step more
It started as a whisper then grew into a scream
Emanating from the sky, the walls, the floor
I had fallen full bodied into an ineffable stream
It was then I realized the voice now made sense
But it's words I had always known
Like my mind was reprogrammed to think in past tense
My thoughts were never mine I was never alone
The eyes looked upon me in the same way I looked in on myself
They meant well but this had been a mistake
All in the name of happiness and health
They'd snipped something in me that was never meant to break
I forgave them for opening the door
Then greeted myself with a polite hello
At least there won't be storms anymore
I just can't comprehend the world I left in the spire below
I followed the trail into the centre of the spire
The comet, blinding, dripped in the sky above
Hardly remembering to blink or respire
I made a silent pray for the people I love
My eyes closed and I took one final step more
It started as a whisper then grew into a scream
Emanating from the sky, the walls, the floor
I had fallen full bodied into an ineffable stream
