Lenses of Shadows (ft Apophysia)
SackJo22
LENSES OF SHADOWS
Afore the mirror, reflected back, lenses of shadows in golden glass.
The eyes of night stare from within.
I am frightened now. I want to take them out.
I look for you, but you’re not there. I can feel the secrets stalking me, deep within the night.
The shadows teach and the shadows bare my wanton heart of yearning for the other side of light.
Grace is within. It doesn’t share. I cannot feel the space it holds deep within my heart.
Something’s hidden, but something sure is there. Walk the bridge of paradox through the light and through the dark.

This song is inspired by a dream I had in 2012 which is when I wrote and recorded this track.
The instrumental stems are from Apophysia. I don’t see the track here on ccM. So I tagged another one of their tracks, a remix of my song The Eye of the Owl. The Eye of the Owl is based on the same dream that this song is inspired by.
The dream:
I am getting ready to go out with my husband to an event. I look at myself in the mirror hanging on the wall above my dresser in the bedroom. One of my eyes is the eye of an owl. The other eye is the eye of a panther.
I am intrigued, but uncomfortable. I know I cannot wear these eyes to the event I am preparing to go to. They are too intense. I take them out, plopping them into a glass of water on the small chest of drawers next to my dresser. The water starts fizzing, as if the eyes were Alka Seltzer tablets making the water effervescent. I know the eyes will be safe there until I am ready to put them back in.
Dry vocal stems attached.
