Lying alone
Encapsulated in fear
The truth we seek
Is never so near
Shrouded by night
Frozen by dark
Reaching out through
The gauze of night
Reality we see
Reality we feel
Blinded by shrouds
Of dark we build
Yearning for freedom
Yearning for truth
That we'll never find
Hidden from ourselves
Why we care
I do not know
Living our lives
As if they matter
Just the other side
Of our real walls
The truth of our unreality
Lie beyond our grasp
Never to know
Never to feel
The wonder & pain
The beauty & darkness
Why we care
I do not know
Living our lives
As if they matter
Chaos & destruction
The rending of our world
Our "reality" destroyed
Our arrogance denied
Forced disillusion
The path to truth.
