To Sleep Astray

No space within the border
Inverted silhouettes
Under my feet
Deep in the soil, disorienting seeds
To the surface they grow as the earth tones are swallowing me

My skin translucent
I'm fading in body and mind
I crawl past the fault lines
Understanding that the fault is mine

We call in time to ourselves each night
The voices reply "walk further into the light"
We sleep with our demons
To awake out of body upon our deathbeds

All paralyzed
I awake to unfamiliar leaves surrounding me
Erase a memory, confusion leads the way
Stray sod

Trust your instincts, aurora light the way
A solitary ritual to disassociate from

My muse, illusive
Decaying before my eyes
I'm lost in the forest
I'm lost in life
Abusive, dream lucid
It fails almost every time
I live in a nightmare resurrected
but the end is nigh

If my body gives out before my mind
Bury me where I lie

We call in time to ourselves each night
The voices will reply "keep walking further into the light"
Out of body, out of mind
To sleep on our deathbeds, all paralyzed
Stray Sod
