When was the last time The mirror spoke the truth Quicksilver satin lines In shallow dimensions A cloud of unkwowning Sinking beneath the tides Simple seasons seem to tell us of our fate Sight unseen to eyes Journeys through the looking glass Let her heart believe the lies she comes to know;
There is only make-believe within the light of day The circles ever round about Where hearts come out to play Only essence still (in time) Takes the sinner home Lost in some embarrassment as if we may have known
There is no other way to keep the truth Of some forever (never been) The sacred trust forgotten with the world within this dream
Take my heart for it is yours My days are not my own The light surrounds this side of heaven Where destiny as falling waters sealed the words forever writ into the stone
