In the haze of darkness
I remember it like yesterday
Someone I once used to be

And then it fades away
I feel it around the corner
A thought I never had

I see it in the mirror
And the reflections make me sad


It's a smoke like no other
A scent I can not smell
A story I vaguely remember

With words I can not tell

And then like the morning

When I find myself awake
A dream that has faded gone
Was it my mistake?


But like the ripple of the waves
It fades away like mist

And so I keep on searching
For what I just might be


Looking under every rock
Until I finally will see


And in the darkness there is light
The truth becomes all clear
The words of wisdom answer me

What I seek is near

In a cave I find it

Dusty, dark, and old
The memories returning
My story can be told


Reality is fleeting
My loved ones fade away

But of that which I have seen
The memories will stay
