I live where you live, in the darkness of a mind,
Empty chills around us, lit from lights outside,
You sense what I feel, gloaming casts the beam,
Inertia of the moment, all is as it seems.
I am where you are, upon an empty street,
Vacancies around us, no one left to meet,
Somewhere a bell peals, resounds within and calls,
I stand when you stand, fall whene’er you fall.
I hide where you hide, behind odd flash of light,
Night and day combined, it seems, still the light’s not right,
You know what I know, behind each night the stars,
Distant, surrounding, burn up but leave their mark.
We know the answers are not to hide and dwell
Inside self-portraits, untrue moments, hollow bells.
I’m brave when you’re brave, awake when you’re awake,
Gather our courage, own battlegrounds at stake,
We fight together, embrace the fear and win,
No hideouts, no heroes, just conquering one of mine.
