The Mime

I look for you in the sights
But I know you'll never find me in this disguise
Until you're really in a place where you just can't deny
He must have come to bring in someone, do you lie?
How you were sure back then that you'd see him fly
That was the reason he left you behind
But then you know he left a part of himself behind
You can see it hiding when you look in his eyes
And though he barely tried to ride that tide
It was too rough, it ate up all of his life
He just held on to it with all of his might
And you'd never seen him let it go in his life
And you knew you'd missed out on the look in his eyes
As he grew into someone you thought you never knew
And that with a nod of his shoulder he left feeling tired
It was too rough a ride stuffed inside him
And you never guessed it by the way that he crawled from your side
That in his heart you would always reside
And though by now in your heart others have played that part
Have you stopped to wonder how he survived?
'Cause he wonders if in London your wanderings come
To implore you for what seek and you'll find
And if it makes you feel better to know that that letter
There was really the reason you'd signed
And that it's not in vain that he leaves you behind
He found out he left himself there behind
And then he probably repeated again a few times
The parts where he would leave them behind
Call that the art of leaving someone behind
Call that the art of leaving yourself behind
Call that the art of leading yourself through mind
They lead you, you lead you through mind
