Stumbling into the in between
Unseen except in dream
I swear I saw the devil in my empty glass of jealous need
Can it show, can it heal my afflicted side?
It’s a lie.
I know fake
Tell me to wake
Say it’s ok
Am I trapped in pretended days?
All time I’d waste
Poison heartfelt tastes
May I just rewind this distorted break?
I’ll show up, but no one waits
Looks like I fell behind
Traded my place to never stand in line
Free only in my mind
A crashing ocean wave
Breezes whispering my troubled name
Trapped inside my own mistakes
Pretending to be me with my own face
I know fake
Are you sure I’m really awake?
I made it in time only to find they’d never wait
Have we settled for an indifferent shade of a forgotten fate?
Searching for my own place
Appear to disappear from here
Dodging every unclear fear
You can almost feel the breeze
Every detail creating my picture I call free
If they could just only see.
Evade the betrayal for illusions
All confusion
The mental intrusion.
It’s not too late
Alter fate
Take back your own face
Rip your exit from this maze
Look closely, listen to everyone, do you hear, can you see?
Just a badly painted reality
Escape the pain
Walk away from fake
And ask yourself…………………………
Are you awake?

I always ask myself that!

"Let me pierce the realm of glamour
So I know just what I am." ~ Van Morrison
