I sit alone by the fireplace, and my simple mind despairs
It's all caught up in a tangled web, contemplating thoughts of you
Someone appears in front of me with an open hand
But I notice that it is not empty, yet holds a room with a view
I step into the room, and it leads me into another realm
I pass through the corridors of your thoughts this time
As you whisper to me softly and you caress my face
Until I realize in this dream I have dulled it's shine
For you have now disappeared into the darkness
And left not a trace of your soul, not even a candle
To burn a flame for a guiding light for me to see
And I must face the fact that you've gone off to handle
Another place in time for you have so many dreams
To fuel in other minds and you must press on
For I am nothing but a dying flame in this barren place
So I drift along blindly for I cannot see what's gone
But I cross paths with another fading light, but I grasp onto it
I won't let go of it for I need the fuel for my sunken eyes
My misfortune has caused us both pain and I know
I need to return to the surface quickly in my disguise
For I wish to be out of this dream and into reality
I return to the surface now and I have survived this bliss
I am awake as I should have been before I took the dive
Before I took your hand, and before I fell into this.......
