You find yourself on a precipice

(And inevitably you will)

A choice has to be made

When you're high up on the hill


You're in-between-worlds at the top

In a place neither here nor there

No backwards and no staying still

You'll have to go elsewhere


Looking back at where you've been

You're trying to return

But as you turn to look around

Your trail's about to burn


The footsteps of your path are lit

And now are up ablaze

You can't remember where you've been

A memory in haze


You crawl back in desperation

Clinging on to life of past

But flames have burnt your fingertips

You turn around at last


Now you're swaying back and forth

You know you have to move

You know you have to jump forward

But your brain does not approve


You can't remember Who You Were

Yet don't know Who You Are

Looking over from the top

The ground is just too far


You see whatever you want to see

Your hill will look like you

Maybe you'll see tops of trees

Or maybe you'll see blue


Perhaps your hill is symbolized

A metaphoric scene

A void of real nothingness

Describing what you mean


As you stare in unknown space

You try locate the floor

And then you get a curious sense

That you've been here before


Your body starts to tingle

Activating memory

You don't remember name or age

But you know the hill clearly


You realize that you've made the jump

But you can't remember when

You know you've been between-the-worlds

And here you are again
