Step Outside

A conversation with myself
Remarkable reflections show themselves to me
As I find myself consumed by thoughts that hold me
Witness to a one-sided tug-of-war
And I promised to… I need to stop
But I’m mesmerized… I can’t step outside
I’m caught in the mirror
Hypnotized by colored images
Spinning, turning, rolling in my head
I can’t see through this drifting cloud of smoke
Unable to discern fact from fiction
I must find a way
So I close my eyes and step outside to see what’s real
Close your eyes to step outside
As I step outside I hear the voice that told me
Just what it was I first came out here for
And I promised to… I need to start
So I close my eyes and step outside the mirror
