Perspex

Welcome back to the world
It feels like plastic
Like a virtual design
Or a bubble in space-time
It doesn't feel real

Of course Helen carried on
While I was in my coma
She's got a different job
And her life has moved along
It doesn't feel real

Something's numbed the cortex
It doesn't know it's awake
It thinks this is a dream
On a cloudy TV screen
It doesn't feel real

The moment that he leaves
She forgets him instantly
And she curls up back inside
Her sad screensaver mind
It doesn't feel real

It's like he never went away
But how much has survived
He's waiting for the moment
When he wakes up from his coma
It doesn't feel real

Wars, games, pain, love
I am asleep
Hope, family, romance, targets
I am asleep
