What I'm Recalling

It is my world you see outside

It is my day - It is my night

It is the odour of delight

What I'm recalling

It is the face inside the pond

It is the monster we've all become

It is the things still undone

What I'm recalling

It is the will - It is the lure

It is the pain I knew for sure

It is the life I didn't want to lead

What I'm recalling

It is the news on TV

It is the picture hurting me

It is the truth - we want to flee

What I'm recalling

It is the duty we all discharge

It is my burden that is too large

It is the empty words we adore

What I'm recalling

It is the puppets guiding us

It is the lies which we trust

It is the fate we've never had

What I'm recalling
