Fugue Fugue

With an empty heart and all my hope wrapped tight around me
 Fled into lonely night, I'm still here you never found me
 Running past fantasies (in anonymity) of your Utopian daylight
 Pretend I'm someone else (one of many) memories don't seem to fit right
 Those bells I thought would never toll for me
 When they did, hollow the sound, hollow the meaning
 But recall all the time (now far behind me) spent in a warm embrace
 And why I exited (please don't remind me) knowing it couldn't be replaced
 Love, once I thought you were (it's so easy to fall) the cure for everything that ailed me
 After I tried so hard (or did I try at all) was it that you simply failed me?
 Those bells I thought would never toll for me
 When they did, hollow the sound, hollow the meaning
 Love, when I care to look I see you as smoke and mirrors
 Naked, I face myself when your illusion disappears
