It's Kind of Like That

Like looking in a mirror,
That doesn't show your face,
Another life, another day,
Another time and place,

Like standing in the starry sky,
With the world above your head,
Or sprouting black swan wings,
That work as fins instead,

Like knowing the name of a stranger,
But forgetting who you are,
And reaching not for things so close,
But grasping at things so far,

Like blowing a thousand bubbles,
Out the window while it rains,
Or finding solace in wonderland,
While logic drives you insane,

Like coming to love the person,
You knew you'd always hate,
And turning on the ones you love,
Then blaming it on fate,

I've done so much and come so far,
Without a reason why,
I've paid up front for things they said,
That money couldn't buy,

I've listened to a mute man sing,
And told stories to the deaf,
It's kind of like that - when you turn to the right,
And you find you're looking left.
