who am i to you
am i the chimera of your universe
am i the aperture of your eye
and i the light through the lock that you see
do you find me when your lonely

a distant sunset keeps you warm
once you believed in me
winter is hot
summer is cold
others made you believe what is not

think of me like the light through the lock at night
out of your reach is what you've made me
scorching flames strike a barricade
its not safe

take what is distant and fading
taste the color
smell the grain
paint this abstinence with your brain
