Traces

Fragments of existence beyond my control
My identity has gone away
My power soils my mind
My newest reality is empty just like me
There is no going back

You've lost yourself because of arrogance
Do you remember what you're looking for?
Or have you lost track of everything
Running from door to door?
You were the one we counted on to set us free!

Answers that I have come to find
They are not to your benefit you will not be pleased with the only thing that I recall
Is that we humans all exist to be conscious of the universe so that the universe can understand itself

Hear me
What I have done is what you asked of me
At the expense of myself

Thought that I could be
All the things you asked of me
But I can see now that just won't do
I couldn't change my life for you
I have to be where I can see the sky
To look around and wonder why
I just don't fit your master plan
For the pure fabulous plastic man

And I know
That the faces I've seen
Are only tangents to a circular stream
I'm stumbling, lost in a world of dreams
