we turn on the tap
but there is no water
we open the door
but there is no way out
we put one foot in front of the other
but we can't move
we reach out for one another
but we never touch
we open our eyes
but there is no light
we look up to the sky
but there is no sun
we turn around
but we find ourselves upside down
we are troubled by life
but there is no creation
we think we are dreaming
but there are only illusions
we search for spirit
but there is no fire
we seek wisdom
but there are no answers
we pray to god
but there is no heaven
