Illusion


Between earth and sky it's black and I can't see you today.
I'm between joy and pain, don't just smile and say it's okay.
Don't bring it up but just let it slowly go by.
When and where will we meet eye to eye?

Dream or daze, a time of fear...leave me along.
I'm going to face dreamland, to slip away without a trace.
Where am I? Don't you shatter my thoughts.
Until the dream ends, everything has no shape or form.

I have been deluded by illusions. This is no longer a dream.
I've been bypassed by the air. This is no longer a riddle.
I can't say how much danger there is,
In this enchanted illusion.
