I don't know what I feel like
Couldn't tell you if I tried
I wish I could feel more
My empathy has run dry
I want to be sad
I wish I could cry
But it seems impossible
When you're up in the sky
Teach me how to feel
I must have forgot
Teach me how to reconcile
Emotion with thought
Teach me how to be
How to experience in full
To live inside of time
To feel gravity's pull
Ground me in what's here
In what I can see
When you trap me in reality
I'll be much less free
Maybe you should keep your lies
And I'll keep mine
There's nothing here
To define\n\nJames Knox
