In the dark you reach for the sky

Memories fade, memories lie

Your fingers clutch your shadows hand

You only survive because you don’t understand

The wind carries voices but there’s nobody there

The bush is burning but the mountain is bare

Was it paradise lost or paradise found

Was it safety you sought in 6 feet of ground,

Were you tipping your eyes to make an impression,

Wearing a face with a borrowed expression,

Did the looking glass

look back at you in wonder,

Did you look through a mask

only to see a stranger –
