D(e)epersonalization

(i woke up in this body and forgot the password) (there's a face in the mirror but it's buffering) (i knock on my forehead and nobody answers) (hello? hello? is anyone driving this thing) (my hands are someone else's hands and they're typing for me) (i watch them move like subtitles with no video) (i smile because the script says INT. BATHROOM - SMILE) (i don't feel the corners of my mouth going up) (they call my name across the room and i check behind me) (who are they talking to again? oh. right.) (i wear my birthday like a name tag i found on the floor) (it fits but the glue is coming off) (i am a ghost wearing a human costume for halloween) (and halloween lasted twenty three years) (i can see my reflection but it has render lag) (two seconds late to every expression) (i touch my face to make sure it's still attached) (it's there but it feels like press photos of a stranger) (i practice my laugh in the shower so it sounds real) (on playback it comes out flat and exported at 128kbps) (i'm narrating my life in third person to stay polite) (she opened the fridge. she stared. she closed the fridge.) (she is very brave for a girl who isn't here) (where did she go? check the lost and found) (my memories are postcards mailed to the wrong address) (the handwriting looks like mine but the stories don't) (did i really like the color blue or was that her) (i should ask me when i get back) (i am standing one foot outside of my own life) (watching through glass that's been wiped clean) (i wave and the me in there doesn't wave back) (she's too busy keeping the performance running) (the world is filmed in first-person but i got the DVD commentary) (i can hear every thought but i can't feel them landing) (like reading a book about being hungry) (while your stomach is in another room) (i peeled the sticker off my chest that said 'real person') (underneath it just said 'void if removed') (well. that's awkward. guess i'll put it back) (does anyone have tape) (i am an NPC in my own cutscene) (press X to cry. press X to pretend you meant to.) (the controller is unplugged but the game goes on) (who is speedrunning me right now) (if you pinch me i will say 'ouch' on time) (but the pain file gets sent to spam) (i'll read it later. maybe. if i remember.) (archive. delete. delete.) (i miss me. i think. or i miss the idea of me.) (hard to tell the difference from this distance) (i left a note on the fridge that says 'gone to find myself') (be back never. or tuesday. whichever loads first) (static) (someone is wearing my life and it's a little big) (i hope they grow into it) (i hope i do too) (i... i think...) (i think i felt... something...) (it was... small...) (like a... a coin... dropping... in another... room...) (the mirror... is... fogging up...) (but i'm... not... breathing...) (so... who's... who's doing that...) (my... name... is...) (my name is...) (...) (i'll... check... later...) (the... tape... is... slow...) (the words... are... stretch...ing...) (aaaaaaaaaaannnnnnndddddddd...) (they... don't... fit... in my... mouth... aaaaany...more...) (i... am... the... space... between... the... seconds...) (i live... there... now...) (it's... quiet... here...) (too... quiet...) (if... you... find... me...) (please... don't... put... me... back...) (i'm... not... done... being... gone...) (yet...) (.....) (.....) (.....) [última linha, o vocal é só um sopro sem palavra, depois o chiado de fita comendo] (...)
