This song was written about a dream I had a few years back that was vague but felt prophetic. In the years since I dreamt it, the memory of it has returned to me many times during times of emotional turmoil and so I used some of the themes and events from the dream to try and write a song that means a lot to me.

You might find your own meaning within it too.

Lyrics:
Verse:
The surface is tearing,
Bisections comparing,
If their jagged hands can still crossover,

A hollow messiah,
A soaring pariah,
Imparting pseudo-sage cynosure,
But the truth is,

Bridge:
Allegorical at best,
The truth is allegorical at best,
The truth is allegorical at best,
The truth is allegorical at best,
The truth is,

Verse:
That I can't tell if what I'm seeing,
Is any more than lucid dreams,
'Cause when she merges with the mirror,
She only serves to echo me,

Is this something I've engendered?
I shrink into my pilfered shell,
Will this ever be remembered?
Only time, only time will ever tell,

Bridge:
Only time will ever tell
Only time will ever tell
Only time will ever tell
Only time will ever tell (the truth is)
(Allegorical at best) Only time will ever tell (The truth is)
(Allegorical at best) Only time will ever tell (The truth is)
(Allegorical at best) Only time will ever tell (The truth is)
(Allegorical at best) Only time will ever tell
