I'm going to ask you something
And I think you know that right now
I need you to answer me as honestly
As you can
Do you trust me?
I mean, can I trust you?
Either way
We have to trust each other
We need to be able to
It's quiet again
I wonder if the others can still see
Or taste
Or walk
Or think
Do you think it can eat?
Do you think it has teeth?
Why are we naked?
Did we start out this way?
I remember having clothes on
When I went to sleep
Was I naked when you met me?
You know
I've never
Never seen you naked?
Have I?
Do you think it can breathe?
Do you think it can dream?
Are we just a part of it's dream, or
Our own waking nightmare?
You know
I've never
Seen you naked
There is no room to move
In these cold, endless woods
This is claustrophobia
Culling curiosities
Does this end internal geography?
Why are you looking at me like that?
Why are you looking at me like that?
Stop looking at me like that
Stop looking at me like I'm naked
Stop looking at me like I have teeth
This is not my dream
This is something you will
Never believe
Stop looking at me like I'm naked
The silent screaming
The bleeding repeating
My ears always ringing
But it is silent in this room
And now a hand is reaching
Into my empty chest
It grasps at absence
It will not let me rest
I pace in circles and circles
And circles and circles
Repeating: "redundant"
I need to stop pretending
That this is all pretend
I need to see the sun rise
I need to knows this ends
