White noise
Dark room
And I’m anchored to this bed on the ground.
My surroundings reflect that I’ve turned unwound
I’m ambushed
By materials
And my life’s work crowns all the shelves
my urge for plastic I cannot quell
My collections all I care for
I feel it
Fill the void were people once were
The need for others becomes the absurd
Fuck, I feel fearful
I tense up
I wither and crumble, my limbs start to shake, I’ve been lost to this ungodly fate
The inanimate has taken over my heart
These things are truly all that I’ve got, I’ve got
Forever and ever, I find that it’s me who is caught, I’m caught
The inanimate has sunken its teeth in my heart
2 A.M.
I gaze out into
The passing stares, the bitter glares, paranoia and neuroses all start to flare.
My eyes
Start to recede
And I’m not so scared of what I find real
I quake at illusions and the surreal.
It all feels so visceral
How my mind’s diseased, my body in unease, this hellish reality will never cease
Encased by static
That clouds my vision and life it all fades away and turns to black then neutral gray.
The inanimate has taken over my heart
These things are truly all that I’ve got, I’ve got
Forever and ever, I find that it’s me who is caught, I’m caught
The inanimate has sunken its teeth in my heart
Standing by my shelf
All these things look neat
It’s amazing how many I collect but never feel complete
Stack up all my plastic
Hoard away for years
I see all them, I guess I can consider them my friends
