The Day That Never Was

Echo of a whisper
that once called out my name
Face not quite in focus
from a forgotten day
Flicker of an image
I know was never there
In my imagination
I’m destined for nowhere

Reading by gaslight
Feeding the hindsight
Reading by gaslight
Feeding the hindsight

Picture the reflection
the plot starts to unfold
Characters non-existent
from stories never told
The power of suggestion
The power of belief
Sustains the fabrication
Upholding the deceit

Reading by gaslight
Feeding the hindsight
Reading by gaslight
Feeding the hindsight

Lies to my ear
Fear from my eye
It’s all unclear
In this denial
I remember
The day that never was

Some say it never happened
Some say they feel it now
Some say that there was evidence
That disappeared somehow
Collective recollection
Is not quite what it seems
A fragment of reality
Imprisoned in a dream

Lies to my ear
Fear from my eye
It’s all unclear
In this denial
I remember
The day that never was
