Projections outside my head

I felt this way before
For years my thoughts were acting
Reacting
As though my brain were in itself the world
And this is where it turns
Endlessly without days
And no way
To understand what’s in the grey
But I’ll never lie in a restless mind
I’ll never lie with the words that I always failed to find
I can exist outside my head
Let me exist outside again
I can exist outside my head
Let me exist outside my head again
I’ve felt it all unfold
Despite my greatest efforts
And lost words
These hands and what they’ve broken hurt
I’m not too far gone
To go back now
