The world looks different thru these eyes
In my mind all is darker, brighter
Shadows emptier, colors fuller
Nothing is ordinary in this bright night
Living in the sun’s shadow I don’t understand
How can simplicity be so confusing?

Surrounded by everyone
With no one beside me
Alone in the middle of nowhere
With everyone around me
Loneliness in my friendships
A friendship with loneliness
Deafening noise in silence
Finding tranquility in a riot

These aren’t my eyes, this isn’t my life
What is this darkness surfacing?
What is this light so blinding?
No control in a war, of shadows and stars
Two sides dwell within
Walking the same path to a different end

A paradox in every thought
With every step a different direction
With every breath a different opinion
A broken image in an unbroken mirror
An insanity driving me insane

Standing alone in the dark of night
A soul at rest no confusion no fight
Only flesh and bone no shadow no light
A comfortable emptiness that feels so right

No matter how many stars the shadows remain
Only in the death of one will the other perish
A fact I now understand, my fate is in my hands
Today I stand alone, about to walk down my own road
