Lyrics:

Elusive shadows creeping in
through the corner of my mind, uninvited
thorns tended daily
against my insignificant will.

Is it truly love that I feel?
Or I’ve been just taught to live this way?
All the beauty that surrounds me
feels more like a theatrical script

Even the pain that I witness,
I perceive through a veil,
slightly out of reach
of my puppeteered arms,
numbed by this cloudy haze.
