Shadows
Shadows...
In what world am I living in
In what day and in what age
Where love is always an obscure reality
And what the heart feels is meaningless
I believe my eyes, I believe my mind
But my heart and my head collide
When the reality of what I see
Reminds me again of why I hide in the silence of the shadows...
It’s with a heavy heart and my unholy hand that the words are finally formed
So many scenes and I don’t know what they all mean
One image covered by another and another and another
The picture blurred by years of memories all slowly turning to dust
I believe my eyes, but they cannot see
I believe my mind but it won’t process thought
And I believe my heart but it does not feel
My head and heart collide again
When the reality finally hits me
And that’s why I hide in the silence of the shadows....
