A cell phone tower buzzing Like insects trapped in glass A weight slowly crushing As if I am trapped in that glass I lift up my hands They move half a second too late Heavy, attached with rubber bands It's pulling too much weight My mirror shows a stranger Wearing my face with a borrowed coat A layered voice whispering "change her" My voice is stuck in my throat The voices playing through a wall A wall filled with water Now the figure in the mirror isn't me at all I know who I am and it's not her The bed I've layed in a thousand times Suddenly staged like a movie set A book perfectly placed to cover up crimes When did my own mind become a threat The colors are screaming one second Then missing the next Don't believe this is what I reckoned My world is too complex Memories flying past like subtitles In a language I forgot how to read I go to check my vitals I can't feel myself bleed Time's moving thick Like honey poured too slowly Thoughts make me sick Death suddenly sounds so holy This consistent hum that forgot to turn itself off Drilling holes through my head Following me everywhere like a smoker's cough Are you sure I'm not already dead I look at people around me Part of my knows they are real The glass is surrounding I'm behind the glass of an aquarium where everything's tinted teal
