Dive in Eyes Open

Wait - how did I
End up here? I turn back
And look out through
Transparent mirrors
It's 5:16 and it's
Dark, blue, clear
I sit
Up in my chair
I traveled through time
Not sure how many
Years it's been but it
Feels like two thousand ten

When it used to mean
Something
Songs on repeat
Its been
So long since then
Sometimes it hurts when I listen to them

This Earth unmoored and broken in
Is always older than when it began
And while it keeps moving through
Eventually entropy takes everything
From you

And I know
The places I go
Are here for now
But soon they won't
Be anymore
And while I hope

That it shakes out
The way that I thought it would
I can't stop thinking about how

I know
The faces we show
And the people back home
We love
They won't live forever
No
I won't
And I
Never thought I'd feel that way
But I kept growing old

I'd been holdin' onto these moments
That kept these thoughts locked in orbit, then
I let go and dived in eyes open
Came up
Breathed deep
Held it in
Then went back underneath

Locked in
Orbit then
I
Dived in eyes
Open
Wide

Everything felt stuck on repeat, changed inside went underneath the memories I got mixed up with dreams that I let go as I grew old I chased you back down again I recalled the way I felt back then I held my breath dived in eyes open
