The world around me is collapsing The thoughts and sounds too much My mind is crying for escape For a dreams soft engaging touch The people around me are worried As my mind begins to slip For they cannot see inside my head, Be a witness to my trip All they see is my eyes glazing My attention out of reach As the daydreams teeth sink in Like a blood filled leech And although I know it worries them I cannot help but let it in For this world has hurt me so much With every single sin That these daydreams are an addiction Something that I need For if it wasn’t for them Who knows how much I would bleed
