Day outside grows black
I lie faceup in my shell
Squeeze my eyes shut

And feel like falling into blank space

Had allowed that life to drift

For I've chosen a different trail
When light fades
I feel like falling into blank space


So you realized
Ingested real life

Grew up in the time of
Pushing through the crowds
So you realized

Chose unreal life
Settled in the mobile
Handy pocket size


Wanted to be your light
Illuminate your smiles

Wanted to be your cure
Bridge between self and us
Wanted to be your prayer

Wipe the tears from your eyes
But I turned my back


Could have been a tree of dawn
Rooted deeply in the ground
Bearing fruits

Far away from falling into blank space

But I took refuge from myself

In the crowded solitude
Now I dash
And feel like falling into blank space


Wanted to be your light
Illuminate your smiles

Wanted to be your cure
Bridge between self and us
Wanted to be your prayer

Wipe the tears from your eyes
But I turned my back
Got lost inside
