Dreamlike Days

Take me back to the dreamlike days
Walking around in a dreamlike haze
My skin hot like I've never been
I can't run and I can't swim
Take me back to the dreamlike days
Walking around in a dreamlike haze
Soles of shoes all but worn
Away just to get to this fucking place
Take me back to the dreamlike days
Walking around in a dreamlike haze
I've broken none and every bone
This hits hard and close to home

You would have thought that the fantails woke you up-
Or elsewhere
A lyre lark spinning soft dreams altogether
Stopping at her spindle
You dozed off on a beach
And wake up paralysed
Your mind lurches upwards
The waters beneath the Earth sliggle up and borrow themselves as worms
Where your hair strands accelerate from your head
Grains grip talons
Fantail sitting next to you asks
"Who are you
And where did you fall from?"
You transmitigate

Your body becomes as frames
Projected disarray, sicksickwise
Beautiful giants clamping down the awful edges of their souls on the ridges
Fractal cascade
She repeats, urgently
"Who are you
And where did you fall from?"
Stars shine through daylight
To reveal their coding
Constellation becomes website
Banner reads
"What lies beneath? A garden, so to speak"

The waves turn into
Flashing mementos of pride and self-pity
Solar winds rise to cool your CPU
Air opens to microchips
She sermons
"Who are you
And where did you fall from?"

Your form falls apart into text
You're an otaku board
Anonymous posts
The messages on you invariably say
"Whether together or alone
These are the last moments of those
Dreamlike Days"

Take me back to the dreamlike days
Walking around in a dreamlike haze
My skin hot like I've never been
I can't run and I can't swim
Take me back to the dreamlike days
Walking around in a dreamlike haze
Soles of shoes all but worn
Away just to get to this fucking place
Take me back to the dreamlike days
Walking around in a dreamlike haze
I've broken none and every bone
This hits hard and close to home
