Puddles disguise the ground

a reflection of nothing i have found

yet everything i am in that very moment

around me all the wonders of the world are bent

twisted rainbow teasing the sky

no one notices me as they pass by

the sky is just raining down

lonely, i stand wearing my frown

as the war washes over us all

under the hypnotic drums we seem to fall

veins trembling and tense

staring down at my soaked shoes, nothing makes sense

lost at the sight of my own breath

how good it feels to have faked my own death

skin rattling to this reality that’s not tight

I’m not really here this very night

sweeped over by a wave of smoke, no hurt any more

none of those old feelings that haunted me before

it is like i have done a vanishing act

and there never was a chance of coming back
