about

Inspired by The Age Of Magic, by Ben Okri.

lyrics

I took a role in a play
I’m being watched every day of my life
If I were free it would be better for me
Hmmm…
Visions dance across my mind
In a dream left behind
I try to hold on to the lost
But the thought is now a ghost
Of what it used to be
But that ghost belongs to me
Ahh ahh ahh ahh
A layer of evil tries
To hide another side
In a shadow forcing the light
Behind a rock and out of sight
A fight between myself
Am I jealous of another self
The darkness is where I live
And when I die I’ll be rid of it ...
Is this who I really am?
Is this who I really am?
Or am I pretending again,
Or underneath these layers
Is it me?
