flash

 
innocence evokes a memory in me
a strange revelation comes over my thoughts
and I'm transported to my other lives

was I ever brand new?

how long has it been since I first blink open my eyes
and how do I reconcile the different people I am?

converging on this life
awakening to another era of change
so much the same person
so foreign to who I once was

I emerge from the darkness and embrace myself
in my doubts and my new found truths
shaking the cold of hurt
knowing it flavors my soul so well

I feel like I'm fading

until you call on me again
and I come from the shadows
just to shine once more
