Can you see what I see?
The writing
Can you tell me what it means?
translate
these definitions into metaphors

Why can’t anybody see me?

Can you hear what I hear?
The secrets
Can you help me understand?
visions
are messing up what is left of me

Why can't anybody hear me?

Can you feel what I feel?
The signs
Can you support all my dead weight?
expressions
keep questioning my existence

Why can’t anyone feel me?

Can you dream like I dream?
The enigma
Can you get rid of it all?
define
the riddle that is my mind

Why can’t anyone dream?

Can you see what I see?
Can you hear what I hear?
Can you feel what I feel?
Can you dream like I dream?

Can you fall like I fell?
Can you scream like I scream?

Can you live like I lived?
Can you die like I died?

Anybody see me?
Anybody hear me?
Anybody feel me?
Is anybody out there?...
