Awake? - ZAO

Awake?

I have nothing

Absorbed slowly into inevitability

Deep roots slither into the earth

My thoughts are numb and alert

It’s the same as I’m sleeping

Confusing revelation

They slip away like dreams, even as I’m dreaming

Thoughts obey patterns, old warehouse computers

Our future becomes the past as it all gently disappears

Our eyes remain open while our mind recoils

See them take aim, steal away your rights again

Like serpents in plain sight, received as angels and heroes in the arms of the

terrified masses

Change is fear

Fear is the devil

The devil has angels at his side

See them take aim, steal away your rights again
