Black Candy Plus - Look Around You

This is not the place I used to go
Where kids and colors shouted out
The bricks and stones still walk about
But I can't seem to find my bed
Look around you, I found their smiles
Where there is nothing left to say
Look around you, the mountains disappear
Illusions glide across the sky

This is not the face I used to know
That whispered in his mother's ear
I used to see him wearing werewolves' masks
But now all I see are veils
Look around you, all my peers have flown
To mysterious lands
Look around you, they could not grab a hold
I did not think they wanted to

This is not the space I used to roam
Before I set across the line
The steel wall that seemed to keep us in
It was shorter than I thought
Look around you, the church bells sing aloud
They're crying for a little care
Look around you, it's time we go
Let's come back another day
