Identity

 

I used to think you were the world

Strong and brave

Your sword blazed in the light

You wouldn’t give up

But now the sword’s been bent away

Your conscious mind has gone astray

What happened to that man I once knew?

You’re back to a boy.

 

Reduce sapiency to currency

Fog up the mirror

Reduce individuality to redundancy

And everything’s clearer

 

Forget it

Shifting through the elements

You’ll see it

Losing all your eloquence

 

You brightened up my world

So much to give

You brightened up my world

So much to live

 

Why couldn’t I understand you?

Back when you had your mind set

Why couldn’t I understand you?

So ready to give your world to me

 

And as I glance through past your eyes

I don’t see any sacrifice

I don’t see any pain

And as I glance into your mind

I see nothing remains

 

Nothing for me, anyway
