A World Apart

How can I slumber under a heart worn thin by the effects of no return?
    I cut myself out, sometimes by mistake
Hours spent thick in the firelight of human hate
A river of clouded desire, now so clearly defined

Some men look into their minds
Into the fleeting winds of a new day
And some men look into their hearts
Into complete abandon
Full of echoes, of dreams
A world inside a world
A world apart
A world inside a world

And you know how I feel, so inexperienced, yet happier that way
And by the way, we have all around us, images of ourselves hanging
Now what if we go?

And some men look into their minds
Into the death of love and beyond
And some men look into darkness
Weep not, they find nothing
A world inside a world
A world apart
A world inside a world

Life is brief, abrupt, even as we speak, I lay wounded
Remain in worlds inside a world
Love is not gone from my world inside a world
Though we're worlds apart
