As I feel this reality gently fade away
 Riding on a thought to see where it's from
 Gliding through a memory of a time yet to come
 Smoke paints the air swirling images through my mind
 Like a whirlpool spin beginning to unwind
 And I stand at the edge cautiously awaiting
 As time slips by carefully navigating
 By the stars in the sky and I sit and I think to myself
 And on the horizon the sun light begins to climb
 And it seems like it's been so long since he shined
 But I'm sure it was only yesterday
 A cold chill of fear cut through me
 I felt my heart contract to my mind
 I brought the image of light and I expanded out of it
 My fear was just a shadow and then a voice spoke in my head
 And she said
 Dark is not the opposite of light
 It's the absence of light
 And I thought to myself she knows what she's talking about
 And for a moment I knew what it was all about
