Apophenia

I watch my mouth

Move it carefully

Place all the words

Like puzzle pieces

Blank stare, sad eyes

Never trusting

Right place, wrong time

I know the feeling

A passing reflection

Gaze for too long, oh

We all grow older

You're static

Spinning in a bottle of time

Glass half, half broken

Words go unspoken

Your thorns are growing

The flower, wilted and dry

A passing reflection

Gaze for too long, oh

We all grow older

You're static

Spinning in a bottle of time

Lull and regression

You're just killing time

You go through the motions

And I could wait here forever

And you would never know
