Cue: Costume Change
Gaze ahead to find, dank vastness unrefined
Familiar faces are fading, warmth and ice are places trading
Home is now alien ground, lovers are nowhere to be found
Those that were have gone ahead, those that remain are coarse to tread
Want and desire have been replaced, necessity and desperation have them displaced
You and me and us and we, all have left in separate boats and fled by sea
Doors have closed, lives have ended
The clock has stopped, but time has not relented
I remain, or is it me? I do not know in reference to whom I speak
The one that was has gone I know, the one who stays has yet to choose what to show
She has had so many before, she has forgotten how many she has shown
She only hopes in this mixing of hues, still remains the one he knew.
