On the Road Back from Somewhere

I'm lost.
I've found my way to nowhere
And now I'm looking back,
And I see the echo of the trail
I'd lain so carefully
Just melting into heat waves from this sun.
I see that yellow brick road
Still melting into heat waves
From our sun.
And I've asked the moon for help,
And he said, "Look."
So I looked at the stars that used to shine in my eyes,
And I looked at the ground that used to meet my feet halfway.
I looked at my fingertips that used to play
On that ivory playground you called a keyboard.
I looked at the map of lines and veins permanently etched by time
Into my palms,
And I realized that I didn't know the back of my hands very well.
I looked at the beautiful mirage we made out of candlesticks and words,
And it told me, "You can't always trust what you see."
I looked around, and I saw a symphony;
A symphony of light beams and shadows dancing in time with the wind
On each strand of your hair.
I know I've said I'm done looking,
But every time I close my eyes
I can't help but look at the colorful blackness that makes up my eyelids.
I try to find your face in those technicolor shapes,
But all I see are the light beams and shadows in your hair,
And I'm searching, searching for your face,
But I've just found my way to nowhere.
And now I'm lost.
