I look in the mirror and what do I see?
Just another face looking out at me
Do you have something to tell me, do I have a right to know?
Is it something I remember, say it isn’t so?!
I want to remember and I want to forget
I want to pretend it is all in my head
And I have to take things one step at a time
And I have to remember that the thoughts intertwine
Some of the memories belong to the past
And some are the products of life ever last
I want to pretend and make it go far away
The memories come back and insist that I stay
So I cover my ears and my eyes and my face
And the sounds continue from a distant place
I see the horror of times long forgotten
And I wash it away like I’m stuffed up with cotton
With a smile like it never happened although I know it is so
I prefer the hidden tunnel, so far away I now go.
