Climb the Fence

Floatopia - Naoto Hattori

Climb the Fence

Sleeping through a waking state
Unaware of my surroundings

Stepping into a slow motion scene

Found motion so dumbfounding

Blinked my eyes and lost a thought

Thought came back an hour later

Spoke out the words I had to say

Found my tongue to be a traitor

Slurred, mumbled, mixed together

Even to myself I didn't make sense

The gate was wide open to me

But instead I chose to climb the fence
