Did I?

Did I mess you up?

Did I hurt you?

Did I make you MAD?

Did I upset you?

Do I make you jealous or afraid to live, or be alive, what do I make you feel?

I want you to join me, I want you to feel.

I want you to be astonished of what you see, I want you to be engorged with enormous words that you can't breathe!

I want you to fly above every humungous breathe!

Who am I to restrict you to zero gravity,

and to ground and restrain you in chains and shackles.

Shall I throw amontillado around,

hoist you up and leave you down.

Nevermore? 

Boast, laugh, cry!

Boast, laugh, cry?

Scream!

Did I make you feel?

Did I make you feel alive?

ALIVE! Living life.

Feeling like you've lived a life that was meant to be lived.

Did I make you feel truly alive.

So go live life and forget me, it must have set into your mind.

I'm only the person they call conscious, and forgotten.
