It was hard to see the ground
In front of me that night
Easily I stumbled on
The rocky ground that night

Looking back is never clear
I'm still in the fog that found me
I think I went looking for it
And I'm lost in the fog that found me

How I longed to pierce the veil
What held me back from Reality
But my only sword pointed to myself
I will never find Reality

I burned all my lamps and candles low
The night I lost my breath
The light went out long before the dawn
And I never caught my breath

I don't try to make words stretch
I waste them and use them up
Perhaps I should have weighed them first
Before I used them up.
