Snake from Digest Self by Familiars

Neither here nor there
I was somewhere in between
woke from a dream inside a dream inside a dream
and when I tried to recall
who I was inside them all
no matter what mask I wore I was me

Though i had tried to run
from what I had done
I'd tried to escape
from the choices that I'd made
and in trying to erase
I made the same mistakes
like a snake eating a snake eating a snake

~It goes on and on~
- snake, snake -
every moment lasts and era
every era lasts a day
~It goes on and on~
- snake, snake -
to create is to destroy
as to destroy is to create
~It goes on and on~
- snake, snake -
my body is the branches
my life it is the flame
~that burns on and on~
- snake, snake -
I am a snake eating a snake eating a snake eating a snake

~It goes on and on and on~
-to the unknown-
-around the sun-
-to the horizon-
on and on and on

Underneath everywhere
in between everything
there is a force that is tearing
tearing at the seams
and though it should fall apart
though it should lay to waste
there is something holding you
into you place

I had this reeling feeling
when I saw the mirror break
there were one thousand reflections
peering back into my face
though three is no going back
it is never too late
to create from the mess that you made
