Truth Lingering In Shadow Cages

One hand claps, eerily
An echo
of silence
If you listen
you can hear it

Life, waiting
Beyond
Out of reach
Where am I?
Untouchable
Here

This reflection
of a mirror
turned on itself
Forever
repeating
Nothing
Can you hear me?
Repeating

Distortions of distortions
of a fallacy
that could never be
That isn't
That holds meaning

The water ripples strangely
I think I'm trapped
Shadows cast from nothing
Help me
Whispers are everywhere
repeating

Do not ask how
Do not ask why
Or if
Accept
or perish

Daughter?

I speak in riddles
Others will kill for the truth
Be safe
repeating

Spectres of lies
bring comfort
in escape

Wake up, daughter

You will not feel it
You will not see it
You will not taste it
You will not smell it
You will not hear it
You can only know it

Only here with the whole world watching
unknowing
could you understand
loneliness

Why won't you wake up?

He was dead
They were all dead here
even as they lived
Repeating

Oh god

Drifting apart
the two become one
You can't tell the difference
It matters
This is why

I speak
of dreams
and what they mean

Stay with us

The credits have rolled
The story is told
Am I with you?
The game is lost
The show
has not
gone on
repeating

The path diverges here
His shadow darkens both
There is no right answer

We can help you

A cacophony of screeching
is reaching
Run

Only in the fog
can I see clearly
Chains
Everywhere chains
And that was all it took

We will
help you

The void beckons hungrily
You fall
as you flee
Forever
repeating

Hold on
a little longer
for what cannot be
But will
We promise

It was always the wrong way around
Usually it didn't matter
Or they never knew how much it did

A light in the darkness
a feeling
of truth
I
Am
...

And the strange thing was
right before the end
she laughed
