1.Days with no substitute turn my oaths to lies,
2.And by the time I notice, I’m at a standstill, breaking- eliminating-3.
4.What kinds of things do I like anyway?
5.Relying on a certain truth, I rebuild, not learning my lesson,
6.In an impulsive moment.7.
8.I was suspicious of a far too blue sky,
9.Bridging the reality and dreams before my eyes:
10.An echo that sounded out further than my expectations.11.
12.The scenes I’d seen yesterday intersected with twisted memories,
13.And by the time I noticed, it was morning – no clue where I even was.14.
15.Following a draft of wind that snuck through, relying on the sound of water I heard,
16.The narrow cave I found was housed by the slightest crack.17.
18.I was suspicious of a far too blue sky,
19.Bridging the reality and dreams before my eyes:
20.An echo that sounded out further than my expectations.
21.I pulled tight that far too thin string,
22.Connecting the reality I saw / a dream:
23.An echo that sounded out aimlessly, defying my design.24.
25.The feeling of the earth I tread upon…
26.The smell of the dried air…
27.Not a thing has changed,
28.Behind my eyelids.29.
30.I was suspicious of a far too blue sky,
31.Bridging the reality and dreams before my eyes:
32.An echo that sounded out further than my expectations.
33.Again, I cursed that far too blue sky,
34.Losing track each time I reeled it in:
35.An echo that sounds again today… in just the way you predicted.
