Flickerfly (ellingson)

Fade in, spin the world on its side
Release the remains of a cheap disguise
With sand, I mold my standards now
Identity unwound, beneath a coat of gray

This is not what I intended
This is not how I view myself
An escape beyond a routine world
It's the first clear day in some time

Flicker out, the inside sounds
Diversions of the mind compound
In metaphor, my eyes grow wide
Sever the line.  I am not sound inside

This is not what I intended
This is not how I view myself
An escape beyond a routine world
It's the first clear day in some time
