A Long Fall

Can a fog live inside a person?
Can a person ever be that lost?
Within their own skin, they seem to only crawl
Reduced to searching in the darkness
Groping for some sort of way out
Because they are trapped in their own skin...
It's a long way down now, from where we are
It's a quite a long fall there, from what might've been
I find myself pacing back and forth, back and forth
As if trying to avoid my own darkened shadow
But you know that you can't outrun shadows or demons
And I fear that both haunt me, tonight...
In a dream I saw your face
In the stars I heard you sing
Oh, it's been a long time since I've seen the sunlight dance
It's been such a long time since my heart had wings
And I wonder if you really understand it all
Or if you just think you do
For that could be a danger to us both
If you're merely playing "Let's Pretend"...
