Familiar Face

Lutalo

Compositor: Lutalo Jones

Walked into a portal made of sound
Felt the shifting of the broken ground
Let the ringing build and then surround
And spit me out

I slipped
And washed away
Into darkness
A white light
Familiar face
Stumbles down
An ally way
I called out
Guess their wrong name
They didn’t recognize my face
Check my wrist
Wrong date
The Moon says
You're not from here
This a different phase
This a different place
In a different place now

The path to home is crooked and too far left
Its shape remains the same as all the rest
Though crows now hover laughing at their will
Gently pulls me through a gate a pair of gills

I slipped
And washed away
Into darkness
A white light
Familiar face
Rushes down
An open bay
I called out
Guess their wrong name
They didn’t recognize
My face
Check my wrist
Wrong date
The Moon says
You're not from here
This a different phase
This a different place
In a different place now
