I saw something on a TV show today
That sparked something in me
I felt like I recognized an old friend
That I’ve recently been trying to avoid

Can they grow and grow and grow further
Until they eclipse us
Rendering us their mere shadow?

Reverberates through my skull

Surroundings tilted
Questioning reality
Deserving nothing
