Reality Is a Courtesy

Paroles de « Reality Is a Courtesy »

Boots in the gravel, signal’s gone thin
Seven Devils breathing under my skin

Oh, you noticed.
How… efficient.

Thermal’s dead, nothing tracks right
Every step loops back in sight

You still believe in forward motion?
Adorable.

I’ve walked this line a hundred times
And every time you call it yours.

This isn’t home…
No… it’s me.

ZALIXOR!
What are you doing to me?

Correcting you.

Get out of my head

You invited me in
When you stepped off the path.

Zalixor, this can’t be real…

Reality is a courtesy I extend… selectively.

The trees are… wrong

They’re correct.
You’re late.

I see myself, split in the leaves
Versions of me I don’t believe

All of them real.
All of them mine.

You don’t get to DECIDE that
I already did.

Why me…?

You stayed
AND IT’S FUN!

…You’re inside every second

NO!
I
AM
THE SECONDS.

Zalixor, you’re bending the past

No…
I’m remembering it differently.
Zalixor, I can’t tell what’s real
Poor thing, you still think “real” matters.

I was there
I wasn’t there
I died
I left

You’re all of them.
And none of them leave.

Let me go

You’re not held.
You’ve grown.

MY SON!
MYCELLIUM!

…What do you want?

Want… is a human inefficiency.

My body’s slow—
Like it’s stepping into the earth…
Like the ground is learning where I’ve been

It is.
This isn’t how I go

You already did.
