Have you ever felt the time was now To burn it all To burn everything down Can it suffice to say So many ways that souls in flame Are beautiful Such argent tears pour forth from empty, blazing eyes As we so desperately search to deny our own identity Masks torn and tattered Reveal these shattered fragments of a face still not my own Another mask, another name, another frame of misperception Finds direction yet unknown And all I've ever felt was true Now newly fades to dust before my eyes Defined by what I see How desperately this need for something else Pervades the self I've tried to see How helplessly I've tried to be -- ~_~ The Sadness of the Sea
