Circling The Edge

When the dreams begin to change

And the dawn isn't enough

to break free of the spell of their magic

When black and white

transcend the reality

into shades of grey

You know you're growing up.

When the mirror isn't enough

to tell you who you are

And to view yourself with

an other's eyes doesn't please

you anymore,

You know you've grown up.

When the last traces of winter sunshine

cannot be captured

in the strands of souls

which lay cold

You know you've grow beyond you.

When the other key to you

locks you down

in the prison of eternal

fakery

And your key to you don't work,

You know you aren't growing,

No more.
