(045) the sun will burn a hole through us both

the impossible never was. everything that was once there has passed. he looks in the mirror, and he suddenly doesn't recognize his own face. he was once alive, but that was in a different life which ended abruptly because the sky was falling. while dreaming, he shifts to an alternate state of consciousness where his mind can run free. the city beckons him, and he knows he will eventually be rendered useless until he shuts down. not that it will matter. the sun will burn a hole through us both, and we won't remember our names. we will drown in the ocean's sorrow and never be washed ashore.
