Second Reality - Mind.In.A.Box

I thought in the end I had found a home

But it was all just an illusion

I thought this was where I would not be alone

Instead it plunged me deep into confusion

I thought there was always something to condone

But in the end I saw it would not work out

I considered those gloomy times to be gone

But now they were back, so beyond a doubt

I can feel all the barriers torn down

And all my thoughts, they feel so light and free

All the baggage that died with my last frown

To make way for a second reality

I can feel so much that has gone away

With that darkness no more a part of me

All the things I thought forced me to stay

Now forgotten with a past reality

I can feel it die away without sound

Like a fading image of a past me

With no place in the freedom I have found

Living in this second reality

But I need to leave my place below deck

So long have I felt it is long past twelve

When I need to turn and never look back

To go where I can just be myself

I know somewhere I skidded off the track

But I just could not see clearly back then

I need to leave behind all that slack

And find out once more who I really am
