Don't look too close and I'll be all that I seem
But my defect glares even in the evening sun
So away to the night to the darkness I run
Ah -
In darkness surreal, hidden safe, I am one
Come walk with me through the vast lily fields
The hour keeps us safe and the dark is my shield
Together we'll talk of the present and the past
But the future looms near for the dawn approaches fast
Ah-
In darkness surreal, hidden safe, we are one
As the east begins to glow, and I shed a single tear
Concern on your brow, you ask me what it is I fear
But as the light hits my eyes and illuminates my soul
You recoil, turn away, And I slink back to my home
Ah-
To darkness surreal, hidden safe, all alone.
