The Vespr Session

Driveway unplowed, the mailbox flooded
An unexpected day for a blizzard
Paint a scene, something much more pleasurable
A family man, returning home after a long day

Reality check as the alarm goes off again
Not a morning person since the accident
Wandering from room to room
Shades pulled to keep out the glare
Another sunrise, one more session

Taken back to a simpler time
Even this is getting old
This cabin fever set in months ago
Now getting harder and harder to ignore

“State of the Art Technology”
Can’t seem to lift this regret from me
Just one more failed attempt
These sessions aren’t doing anything

Clear this guilty conscience

Can’t recall the last time I spoke out loud
Even these are thoughts just written down

Pacing from room to room
Head’s getting the best of me
Blurred vision / palpitations
Palms dripping unlocking the front door
Cold fogs my glasses and the snow hits my face
I can’t see anything

I can’t see
I can’t sleep anymore

Like a gateway to another world
For the first time in months I’m feeling alive
A weight is lifted as the chills run up my spine
You can’t face your fears while living inside your mind
Empty my lungs and leave this world behind

This vision that’s haunting me
That’s causing this lack of sleep
Embodied by disbelief
I had it all, but just chose not to see
