Navigating Wonderland

You’re everywhere,

and don’t exist

I spend my nights in wonderland,

and days on resist

These parallel universes belong

I’ve burned through every song

My memory’s the enemy

Now that night is gone

Another beautiful stranger

Another chapter of forbidden love

Another imperfect connection so hard and so fast

I’m just collecting scars

Infinite fractures to the heart

Gradually turn my moral compass dark

Made to feel and forced to repress

For the collective good, a life surpressed.
