the shallow deep
the mental trip
the freudian slip

winding roads that lead to nowhere

i've lost my cause
forgotten who i was
in pursuit of what i'd lost

can you remind me who you are?
fleeting memory that seems so far
yet through my heart still tearing scars
scorching the night sky and fading stars

and in your trail of smoke and lace
or perhaps not too long ago, somewhere yesterday
amidst stranger conversations and stranger names
i was gone without a trace
in the crowd just another nameless face
