about

I have had brief moments during this pandemic where I have thought “Have I lost it? Is reality too scary and I am slipping? Am I having an out of body experience? Are we all having this? Was Philip K. Dick right when he said ‘I am alive and you are dead?’” This is where fantasy worlds and genre feel the most comforting. And I end up reading some Philip K. Dick and listening to High On Fire and watching Conan for the billionth time because MAN this world huh?

lyrics

Walk along the ridge of the Crystal blood mountain.
Axe in my hand as I stare into deaths black eyes.
I slit of the Cyclops throat who rules the Hyborean age

Or at least in my mind.
Honestly I’m kind of doing nothing.
Just sitting round.
Staring at the sky.
Trying to mentally escape my house.
But honestly not doing a great job of it.

I fall into a rift as I cling to my dimension.
Escaping the claws of the Gorax
or was that a shape shifting grey.
My fantasies are merging with conspiracy theories.

I've lost track of what reality means to me.
And I don't know what to do with my time.

So I think about mountains and axes and monsters and other shit that is not what is going on in the world.

But I swear
this is all a metaphor.
A metaphor for what
I don’t know

(I’m scared)
