Mixed Emotions

*Rough audio cut in "Author's Note," should anyone care to listen 🙈 *  

Dreams of things that split the night  
All your worries, all your... trite expressions  
But, you are something more, in spite  
Of petty ways... mindless obsessions  
 
I see you  
Do you see you, too?  
When you look into the sky  
 
I see you  
Do you see me, too?  
When you close your eyes?  
 
Dreams of things that lit the night  
Endless hope and mis... direction  
They fly around you like a kite  
All tangled up... in indecision  
 
But, I see you  
Do you see you, too?  
When you look into the screen?  
 
Behind closed eyes  
True hope, it lies  
Somewhere in between  
 
But, you're all caught up in mixed emotions  
Blurred lines, of false devotions  
The grey area, so aptly named  
Always changing your mind  
 
You've lost yourself to mixed emotions  
Uncertainty, and blessed convulsions  
The grey matter, to which these thoughts  
Might feel so confined  
 
But, I see you  
You're all that's true  
In a world full of lies  
 
Just close your eyes  
And recognize  
It's you who splits the night  
 
Caught up in the mixed emotions  
The blurred lines, the black and white  
The grey area, so aptly called  
You're all that splits the night
