We Lose Ourselves

We lose ourselves
In the middle of thoughts and sensations
Surrounded by despondency and flows of feeling
Total abandon
Laid down in the void

Detached but dunked in
We could be dry even into the ocean

We lose ourselves
Apart from the world on which we ended up by chance
We lose ourselves
Apart from the world we didn't choose

With no more desire
To suffer in a limited way
With no more need
To prove ourselves right
With no more motivation
To repress our own universe

Detached but dunked in
We could be dry even into the ocean
We lose ourselves
Apart from the world on which we ended up by chance
We lose ourselves
Apart from the world we didn't choose

So maybe next time
We won't be trapped
By our own arms
Maybe we will not suffocate
At every breath
We are afraid of the cage
Just because its bars are already around us
So we need to lose ourselves

In our dramatic view
We are often more right than we would like to
