doublevision

(eyes open) awake in the void again
stare down everything in emptiness
(eyes closed) see the world glaring
every eye examines in darkness
(eyes open) floating in nullspace
searching for the horizon out
(eyes closed) screaming laughing
as i become enclosed within
(eyes open) everywhere i go looks
just as it did before
(eyes closed) everywhere i am is
always as it was before
(eyes open) is this my world?
(eyes closed) is this my dream?
