Chains of Illusion

Who's searching deep for lost reality? Who's mind is trapped in webs, it's hard to breathe? You've felt the world slip from your fingers Concepts of being, they seldom linger Where's that solid ground? We're all lost in thoughts so profound Who's floating high in the abyss of self? Who's grasping threads of time, a dusty shelf? You're sinking in the void of your essence The core of being tied in obsolescence Where's the sense of now? In this vast mind space we aimlessly plow Who's peering out from the cave's dark wall? Who sees the shadows, thinks that is all? But when you step into the daylight The chains of illusion lose their tight Where is truth profound? In the stars, the answers wait to be found
