Gravitational Lensing

Into what goes on forever

Beyond perspectives lost

Kaleidoscope vision

Introspective display

What hides in plain sight

Force it into my head

Now is the only time

Hiding behind a lie

All I know

I cast the fire

Inside these hours

All alone

For I am in denial

Though never again will I

Direct my shields

Against another

But turn it on myself

Come back

To something I need

Come back to misery

Living the misdirection

All I know

The further off center

My lies become

Force it into my head

Now is the only time

Hiding behind a lie

All I know

I cast the fire

Inside these hours

All alone

For I am in denial

Though never again will I

Direct my shields

Against another

But turn it on myself

No sight - unseen

No light - in between

Gravitational lensing

What they see

Is bent around my lies

Around this black hole

I have found myself again

Brought out the answers

For my seeing eyes only

Travelling in circles

I have found myself again

No way to face it straight

Inside the lonely

Here in the night of nights

Where nothing shines

I brought the flame down

On it all - unforgiving

In time the flame will die

The only hope I have to find

To never deny, never regret

The masquerade is over

As long as I cast the fire
