Masked

Masked (5:50)
(M. Lane)

Floating through the vapor
Illusions cast so proud
Amplified by shadow
The silence sits so loud
Sinking and shouting out

Faded reminders of an
Image come and gone
Sunken out of reach

Spirits in spite of embers
Scorched and ever burned
Adrift along an endless shore
And never to return
Wading and fading away

Jaded reminders of a
Light that’s been diffused
Fallen out of time

Assuming the deceptive figure
You are the one who is stained
Enshrouded by your sadness
You can’t see it anyway

Clear as glass
Why do I go
Compromising?

Stained and
Broken glass
Paralyzing

Sunsets on the horizon beckon
Calling us to fly
Follow the presence
Become one against the sky
Sailing and failing, we are

Shaded illusion cannot
Brush off its own mask
Onward, transcending

Assuming the deceptive figure
You are the one who is stained
Enshrouded by your sadness
You can’t see it anyway

Assuming your faithless figure
You will always be stained
Enshrouded by your madness
Everyone sees it today
