We are all lost souls
Trapped, wandering in the universe
Dreaming up adventures
Never in our bodies

Our bodies are a prison of reality
Of love and hatred
Scattered caring and remorse
We float above

Our bodies are robots
Expressionless to the world
Impenetrable to feelings
They cannot contain us

Wishes kiss our cheeks
As we follow the dark road
With bewildered eyes
Empty chasms of fear

We are never truly awake
Our lives are rhythmic
Shallow thoughts soar higher
Thank our soulless bodies
