The Same

He wakes up and shakes up
The sleep from his eyes
Lost dreams of familiar people
Mingling in mazes

It all quickly fades away
Til it's just the panic of open faces
Open faces

Deep breaths and he heavily steps
On bending floor boards
Foundations failing underneath

Only the slow cracks in the walls
Tell him time moves at all
"Entropy always finds out"
He thinks

He weaves to the bathroom to splash water on his fuzzy face
And tries not to look in the mirror too much

But sometimes he catches a glimpse
Of someone he should know
Someone who looks the same same
But So So
Different

"Oh what a beautiful day"
So why does it all seem the same?
The Same

He hides his face and steps outside
Into a world no longer waiting for him
Doing what no one asks of him
Only what he asks of himself
Carving out his own little slice
(His own little slice)

Quick trips
Quick zips
He dips and dives
And follows the roads like rivers
Quick trips
Quick zips
He dips and dives
And follows the roads like rivers

"Oh what a beautiful day"
So why does it all seem the same?
The Same

He rushes back home
To get calm indoors
Strips off his surface to show
His softest self
And wash away worry from grace
(He washes away worry from grace)

Long after midnight
He tucks himself into his too soft bed
Putting pillows over his ears
To hide the humming in his head

He wearily wonders
"Will tomorrow still be like today?
Or was today already tomorrow like yesterday?"
Like yesterday

Dreams finally steal
His circular thoughts
Merging mind with mazes
Filled with people as props

Too close
Too close
Toooo close
But never
Quite
Close
Enough

"Oh what a beautiful day"
So why does it all seem the same?
"Oh what a beautiful day"
So why does it seem all the same?
The same
The same
The same
