i rely on, my shapeshifting, to pretend i’m, not who i am
i rely on, these shaking hands, to pretend i’m in control of them
i rely on, so many things, till i don’t know, what too believe
i don’t erase
we dance with microdots and, play with microthoughts,
strung out for forever as we count it out on microclocks
we dance for too long now we, have strained our microhearts,
our microworld collapsing, should we hold our breath of carry on
we only hope that we fade away
i rely on, this empty space, to retreat from, the thoughts that chase,
i rely on, a love gone wrong, to pretend i’m, fine on my own,
all these thoughts that, have followed me, to a place i thought was so empty
i don’t remain
we dance with microdots and, play with microthoughts,
strung out for forever as we count it out on microclocks
we dance for too long now we, have strained our microhearts,
our microworld collapsing, should we hold our breath or carry on
we only hope that we fade away
we hope we fade away
we hope we fade away
we hope we fade away
