MNMI COMP '25

I dream aloud, I dream afar
Slept on a cloud, slept in a bar
You'd be with me, feel endlessly
If we're for real, that's how I feel, but until we are

Will you be there when I'm sinking?
Do you see what I see?
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Scenarios change what you say, you say
I've been out of range since Tuesday, Tuesday
Feels so strange, the looks we exchange
Scenarios change, but you stay, you stay

We're in the forest, we're making out
We're on the floor, it's- without a doubt
And yet it's gone, the lights turn on
Escape to dream another theme when I'm allowed

Will you be there when I'm sinking?
Do you feel what I feel?
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? 

Scenarios change what you say, you say
I've been out of range since Tuesday, Tuesday
Feels so strange, the looks we exchange
Scenarios change, but you stay, you stay
On my mind
Love is blind and so am I
But safe and sound
On solid ground, inside I fly

I dream a lie, mistaken now
Nowhere to lie, it's taken now
It hurts to dread what's in my head
Each day there's more, sometimes a war, but I'll make it out

Will I be there without you?
You won't feel what I feel-
Are you thinking of me too?

I know things always change and end
But I hope things never change again
Well they change, they change
When you stay, when you stay, it's only-
On my mind
Love is blind and I'm lost if I find you
Safe and sound
Safe and sound, stick around
'Till I've finally found what I'm looking for

Scenarios

A cicada's circadian cadence dictates
It awakes in the summer
Likewise, I start to buzz and feel alive
Each time I shed my shell, disheveled
To head to a higher level, I hover
As if I must stay stagnant to survive

Finding a habitat, blindly winding
Through this and that 'till I win it
When I see no results, continue searching
For a Niche that facetiously ceases
To seem in my reaches this minute
I do all I can, continue lurching 

Forward!
By my own, can't always wait for your word
Grinding my gears and rolling clockwise
The daily test of time through my eyes
Time is a gift that's in disguise

Affliction with conviction, we
Invent the next best thing
In the event, would you 
Resent the blooming spring
For all the years you could
Amount to what you really wanted

Denied the drive to fight, we might
Accept the cards we're dealt
To interject, would you 
Reject what you would melt for?
Or correct the faults you fell for? For- 

Forward!
Waiting to throw until it's your turn 
Eyes on the board to watch your score burn
By my own, can't always wait for your word
Not alone unless I make it so.

Forward (The Niche)
