A dizzy twisty dance
Spin around and lose your mind
Fall to the ground and
Look to the sky
End up drunk
And give your number away
Wake up in the garden of
Unconscious bodies
Sober and full of life
But hazy without focus
Too many reflections of one image
Seeing and not seeing
Being and not being
In the carousel of unbelieving
I had a vision
Faces looking down at me
The shuddering and shaking breaths
I'm alive
I'm dead
Or is it all just an illusion
