The Moisture and the Mirror of the Moment

If you look into the moisture and the mirror of the moment

If I told you that I knew it wasn't real

If you step into the looking glass of glamour

And find yourself alone without yourself

Would it make you feel the least bit resurrected

If I told you I had feelings on the shelf

If the moisture and the mirror of the moment

Is all that I'll remember when you're gone

Would it make a bit of difference that I love you
Poses a question about the transformative power of love in the face of impermanence.
Or have I mistaken all these feelings for a song
Expresses uncertainty about the authenticity of emotions, questioning if they are genuine or merely part of a performance.
When I call to mind the feeling of the ceiling I've been dealing

And I find myself exhausted by the sun

That I'm staring down the barrel of a gun

If I bury all the broken bits of beauty

That you taught me to ignore and still admire

Or ask my heart to silently retire
Ponders if a quiet retreat of the heart can bring peace in the face of tension.
