Confusion
by Robin Lowe Delargy

So many questions but my mind's lost to reason
So many feelings my ragged heart can't ignore
So bitter the feelings I'm too sick to swallow
The face in the mirror isn't mine any more

Confusion
Comforting illusion
Won't look past the delusion
for I fear the other side

How did this happen?
When did we turn our heads?
How can I hurt so much when not one word's been said?
My flesh cries out in urgent need but all I feel is pain
Loneliness I stand to lose and self respect to gain

Confusion
Blinding illusion
Can't see past the confusion
to what waits on the other side

Somebody tell me; what's my raison d'etre?
If there's a master plan I haven't found it yet
Some say I've a searchlight soul
does he still feel the heat?
There must still be some hallowed ground
where our separate souls can meet

Confusion
Selective illusion
Crippling seclusion
Keeps me from the other side

Immense the distance between two souls
the winds of time have blown apart
I need the strength to take the helm
I've been mindlessly steered by my rudderless heart

Confusion
Nothing but illusion
Yet through my confusion
I sense hope on the other side

Confusion
Lying illusion
Confront my confusion
for I wait on the other side.
