Appeared and Was Gone

This is where they come
from every direction
to put an end to this cycle
In here there is no light
but I can hear them
begin to move

They're like a parasite
feeding the host it's own lies

And I'm just like them
with no beginning and no end
I hear them cry out
and obey without a sound

Speak up, tell me all of
the things you wanted
but couldn't say
Speak up they say
they all stare
but no one is listening

They wrap their arms
around me
in such a subtle embrace
and pull me into them

I've been so content
to let repetition have its way

They dragged me out
to all the flickering lights
like a moth
I followed them
to a company of dead men

Where everything is alive
and breathing but it all feels
so broken

I must be caught somewhere
in between illusion and reality
let me out of this dream

But I'm just like them
I have no end
and when they cry out
I won't hear a sound

Everyone is waiting
everyone is scared
