an ode to no one (I)

i'm waking up so fast
to see myself staring back at me.
i laugh and ask about,
what was this dream i had?

what am i trying to hide?
let's hear the secret that you keep.
i've been misunderstood
until it all came to me...

it's out there,
the state of blinded grace.
it keeps us
waiting at the door.

where is it?
this phantoms' liberty?
it's hiding
all that we know.

we're pushing back the time
to breathe it
in with a staffled grin.
i know i must admit
some things must go this way.

what am i trying to hide?
let's hear the secret that you keep.
i've been misunderstood
until it all came to me...

it's out there,
the state of blinded grace.
it keeps us
waiting at the door.

where is it?
this phantoms' liberty.
it's hiding
all that we know.

that you know.
