You muddle amidst murals
A memory and a prophesy on each hand
Dancing on mirrors in frozen summer
You forget where your story began
Straining through the ebbs and falls
You capture a fleeting embrace
The paint is peeling off the walls
The past is etched on your face-N

Sitting in the corner
At the farthest end of far
Mask masking memories
Of a future past the bars-N

Sweet child in time
You'll see the light
From Stone to spirit
From naked to night
The truth is staring burning faces
Shadow puppets play in empty spaces
You brush your skin against the sky
The mirror's seen the lie in your eye-N

The night is done
Gone with the wind of the first sun
Dreams on ice
The river crossed twice
I want to be alone with me
A transparent layer in history-N

another life comes another season,
you're looking for the rhyme in reason,
where will this dust take you,
when will your skin break you,
will your spirit come touch the stone,
of things you loved but left alone-N

Their voices reach you but the words are inane,
You see in their eyes your world is insane,
You wish you could fly but dreams cloud the sky,
The rain in your brain is washing them dry-N

what can i be now that you haven't already been
wallowing midst willows i am in between :: N

I was too young to understand
But too old to forget
Naked on the sand
Hanging on by a thread
Walking through the door
Eyes clawed by dread
Your face is a mirror
Only your eyes they are dead-N
