Castle on a whisker

Are we even real?
Let me know
The side winding wind
Covered in snow
Melting quickly
In the present sun
It'll never hear another melody
All things come undone

Are we even real?
How do you know?
Standing still watching
Time ticking slow
Blink the day is over
Moon hanging low
In the present moment
Last one you'll ever know
All things come undone

Fear it if you must
What will profit you?
Holes in your socks
Full pockets to be picked
Fear the coming day
What will it profit you?
Holes in your heart
Full mind ready to be plucked

Are we even real?
What makes you say so?
Solid world is illusion
Fantasy let it all go
Perceptions grown locks
Nobody ever really knows
Close your mouth
Breath really slow
All things come undone

Are we even real?
Skin pretending to feel
Eyes glimpsing nothing
All is the unknown
Hermetic secrets locked away
Green floor boards
Carry on its ok
All things come undone


Fear it if you must
What will profit you?
Holes in your socks
Full pockets to be picked
Fear the coming day
What will it profit you?
Holes in your heart
Full mind ready to be plucked

Awake at night with tears in your eyes
Means so much in the seconds
Soon you will realize
You were always in the presence

Awake at night with tears in your eyes
Lacking all the faith you had
Soon you will realize
You were always in the presence

Life is a shadowy game we play
Life is a shadowy game we play
Life is a shadowy game we play
Life is a shadowy game we play
