I try to separate From the material world It doesn't matter anyway Forget about Your troubles for now I try to meditate Ignore the guns and sirens That cry all through the night But I can't quiet My noisy brain I know only my senses See, hear, smell, taste, touch Tangible stimuli Who am I? Simulated dreams Of questions that have answers A simpler point of view A path laid out Before me Time is not linear There's no beginning or end Nothing ever dies If it once existed My world is flesh and concrete It's all I know Whatever lies on the other side I'll be there soon I hope to see you in a distant life I hope to see you in the afterlife
