i'm not here

sometimes it's just so long
before i catch my breath
and half this life is gone
exhausted, washed away

so who was it that said
i could have ruled this place
promises i made unwitting
signatures that make me pay

now you come asking for more
i don't know that i can undo
those vows i can still remember
and even promises to you

meanwhile i dream of losing
myself in new lands
where they believe the tales i bring
and no one knows my name

perhaps this vanity will die with me
perhaps it will set me free
but before that endless eternity
there's a different path i seek...
