Eternally
If I was you
And you were me
Looking at the mirror without a frame
Or the frame without a mirror
I could see you
As if in a dream
Recurring
Well, you told me your mother didn’t care
I was worried at first
But then I started to share
If she never denied you all her love
You would always have enough
And you’d never go and search
For one with me
Could it be
There’s nothing to learn?
Could it be
Its just a long night
When you can’t sleep and nothing is right?
If I was you
Maybe I am
Maybe this whole thing is just a simulation
And I would be you
Listening to me
Trying to find
Which one is real
And which one is the dream
It came back to me
For many nights
I kept on steering it the way I needed
I got so far into my mind
I could not decide
Which side I was on
The waking or this one
Its just for fun
If I was another me
I wonder if I´d do things differently?
Sometimes life habits are hard to see
Hard to break
Hard to be
Hard to know you from the muscle memory
From the brain and all its tricks
From the incense burning sticks
Its the kind of smoke I need
To disappear here
I know you’re in pain
Just the same as me
For different reasons
But we feel it equally
And if you’re here now
I hope you hear me
Sending you all from my self
Sending you love from my self
Sending you love from self
Eternally
