among caged birds

lyrics

i have untied myself
from an old dream
of something less
than what so perfectly seemed
to be a sea of faith
but my belief was self made-up
i have deceived myself
because i was hunting the belief
i saw with everybody else
i only found make-believe
so the dream
of heroically
being determined
eternally
is deceased
when i shatter from believing
when it shivers me to believe
this is it

and as she stared at me
i saw her changing her shape
into a column of silent faces
her vacant eyes didn't want to look my way
but in the reflection of her eyes
i saw an insubstantial figure
dancing among birds in cages
silently remembering

i reached out to save him
but he slipped through my fingers
out of the all-embracing grave
and then was saved
i have untied
my hands from something less
than what so perfectly
seemed to be true
seemed worth waiting for
seemed worth fighting for
seemed to be red
but i shiver from the thought
of having faith
because it will suffocate me
unless i try to avoid
what seems to be
irresistable but
unrealistic joy
