Waking up as the sun goes up
Toing and froing life in a limbo
Burning candles both ends
Waking up not a toaster
Doesn't come with a guarantee
Shadow of a moon over a pond
Now here now not
Uncertainty of the shadow
With one follows
Shadow a silhouette by itself
Uncertainty of a silhouette
Proves how unreal
The process one daily deals
And that Mirages tried to seal
Not carried when 6 feet under
Up in flames one with Amber
Not left behind either
Statue built of illusion
To carry the legacy
So one believes
Fabric of fiction
Fable of fantasy
Visualization of vision
Inflated values given
Greatest sin of man
Pass on to the next generation
The same unreal burden
Falmily trees become chain gangs
False understanding looming over
Playing the role of the warden
Not allowing one to escape from the prison of  phantasm
Built with  walls dating back
From time immemorial
