And the dimness allows the faint light to cast shadows upon me
The long faces and places of you are now but a mere memory
And although it’s self serving I’m searching black holes for the treasure
If I fail to reach the epiphany I will have failed

I can’t be just another
In a line of faceless but well-meaning souls
The backs of their heads blend in seamlessly
With the frowns of upside down men

The glow that once hid inside
Has all but burned out and died
If you’ll allow me
I’ll show – you – where – I…

Hide the keys to the cabinet, lock up the doors while I die
I will keep this a secret unless I have come back alive
Pull the shades, tint the glass, do not let anybody inside
The door to the office is closing for good – bye bye

So much searching to do
Of the soul, of the mind, of the who’s who
Abundance of files and weakening smiles
The tunnel is now open – go through!

Violently shove me inside
Shatter this mask where I hide
I will allow you
To pull – me – deep – in…

Side by side on the journey to parallels of you and I
Feel me deep, closing in, dreams abound all around through black sky
Tantalize, mesmerize, truth from lies sorted out in the ether
The atomic explosion and random corrosion

Show me away
To dreams in the dark
A fly on the wall
Of castles that talk
The will of good men
Has shifted to dark
The long, lonely road
On which I embark

Here I am!
