The World Looks Back At Me
I watch the world through tattered eyes
The images repeating through my mind
The essence inside of me
looks out at the world
And the world looks back at me.
You wouldn't believe
The places I've been and things I've seen
Each blink of an eye
Takes me back, walking the expanse of time
Each step carrying on, only to be drawn back
And the world looks back at me.
The front seat looking out a window
Is the loneliest place to be
Watching the world go by,
Staring, removed, two realities side by side
Gazing at each other,
The world looks back at me.
I see myself in your eyes
Looking back into me
I couldn't be closer, and yet
I'm more alone than loneliness could describe
Looking at the mirror,
There's no one there in your eyes
Just the world looking back at me,
The world looking out of me.
