There is more that you can see
It's blinded by empty eyes
There is more that you should know
Find the key to your heart inside

Chorus: Oh they don't even know
What time deals upon you
This mask you hold to your face
Is covering who you are

There is more than just the ground
There is sky and sea and light
Pull your roots up towards the sound
Tilt your head towards its might

Oh they don't even know
What time deals upon you
This mask you hold to your face
Is covering who you are

There is more than just this time
There is more a clock can tick
If you seep into the world
Come back out fully lit

The author's comments:
A few months ago we had to devise a play in theatre class and when someone suggested that we fill part of the show with a song, I randomly thought of an idea and wrote this song within the following week. I actually have written vocal and piano parts for this and performed it twice on stage. Hope you like it :)

"Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind."
