In the silence of night

In the absence of light

A thousand racing illusions

Are perceived by my sight

***

In the pursuit of solace

I take part in the race

I reach a world beyond

But I can’t see that face

***

I lost that magic wand

to some unknown land

Peace will never come back

It won’t ever hold my hand

***

The only thing left is despair

If what she did was all fair

Leave my heart, leave my soul

But the illusions won’t disappear
