When I fell asleep I did not dream and I’d forgotten
I’d forgotten of my tense and I’d forgotten of the foolishness
I’d forgotten all the schedules and future detriments
I’d forgotten of the TV and the arrogance of man
I felt sadness black when I awoke and remembered where I was
Instant memories were traded for this bliss it felt like dying
Not being was like heaven how sad to have to wake
And remember were I am so fake
Stuck here now in waiting for my end soon much like you
To have a blank existence that need not make some sense
I wish I could be there again and forget forever
I hope that death leads not to another realm were nonsense rules
Where time and words hold no meaning and I need not feel to be




I am the two-toed wanderer

I think you nailed life in general, we are all sort of "stuck" in this existance, and hoping to make the best of what we are dealt.
