Dial

I dreamed my perspective was on a dial
wired to spare me from my will
i saw my world so dimly lit i felt my heart fainting within

and if i wake under a sky weighed down
by clouds of ashen gray

wired to spare me from this will
that saw my world so dimly lit i felt my heart fainting within
and i was relieved
