Restlessly I lay
A time machine in my head
Takes me back, replays
A time machine in my head
Pushes me further, creates
Past and future
Fight with the present
Trampling over rightful thoughts
Don’t think
And think does
A useless fight
Although it’s my own
I have no control
Recklessly
The time machine takes me to you,
To him, to them, to us and back
To you… but who is you?
I cant decide
