confessions of schrödinger's cat

[confessions of schrödinger's cat]

am i dead
or am i alive
sometimes it's hard to tell
what you're feeling inside
when you're trapped in the box
that they locked you in
sometimes it's hard to tell
exactly where you fit in
so i'll sit here and wait
in this lead-plated stay
wonderin' which reality's
the real one today
and i'd scream but i'm not sure i'd make a sound.

i am schrödinger's cat
a paradox of sorts
but what good are laws and physics
when the math rings up short?
light is shining through temporal leaks.
it's a physical equation
for metaphysical relation
the dimensions supersede time
so i'm waiting for my stars to fall in trine.

later on
running through
all the numbers that
were supposed to add up to you
you know, something's amiss
the equations are cleft
must've missed something when
i balanced the left
but i can't really tell
since it's too dark to see
and i think that all the lead
is maybe getting to me
and i'd scream but i'm not sure i'd make a sound.

parsing functions that are written on the page
i can't help feeling like the numbers are a cage
and i want out
please let me out
the x's and the y's aren't adding up to an escape

i am schrödinger's cat
a paradox of sorts
but what good are laws and physics
when the math rings up short?
light is shining through temporal leaks.
now i'm slipping away
on a particle decay
and it's all just a mem'ry
but i saw you today
i'd say "i love you" but i'm not sure i'd make a sound.
