Distanced by reality

Distanced by reality
Treading on the contours of time.
Our souls are bound together by wisps of frayed minds.

To find a place of freedom,
To find a place of peace,
Is climbing in difficulty,
And harder to defend.

-I stop- to hear a moment
-I pause- to keep it near.
Awakening to the sound of distance I flee to keep my fear.

When all around is further than I dare to be-
nd my thoughts
My altered state aligns me with the lies I've sold and bought.
