Beyond the Fall - Who am I now

#rock #music I found your name in a cracked tea cup on the windowsill of a house I outgrew The mirror kept your shape for a while then it learned my face and forgot the rest A bird flew through the clock on the wall and left a feather in the month I lost you My hands were full of keys that fit every door except the one to me I keep turning over the same small stone looking for the sound of your voice in bone I keep hearing my own steps split one goes forward one stays where you went Who am I now without your light? Who am I now on the other side? I am the smoke I am the sign I am the man who lost his mind Who am I now without your light? Who am I now? Who am I now? The room still leans toward your shadow like a plant that grew too close to rain I wear your absence like a second skin soft at the seams and impossible to name Sometimes I talk with the old me through a hole in the floor of a childhood dream He says, come back I say, I can’t My mouth is a match in a lake of glass I keep turning over the same small stone looking for the sound of your voice in bone I keep hearing my own steps split one goes forward one stays where you went Who am I now without your light? Who am I now on the other side? I am the smoke I am the sign I am the man who lost his mind Who am I now without your light? Who am I now? Who am I now? [Half-time, washed in delay] If I peel my skin will the memory stay? If I call your name will it call me back? There’s a child in the dark with my borrowed eyes holding a paper moon over broken tides I reach for him he turns to dust and the dust says stay and the dust says trust Who am I now without your light? Who am I now on the other side? I am the smoke I am the sign I am the man who lost his mind Who am I now without your light? Who am I now? Who am I now? I was here I was here I was here Then the dream closed its hand and I became the echo in it
