i've been wandering through the night

since the start

when i didn't know where to begin

who to talk to

who to believe in 

i've been wandering through the night

scared i might cross the line

holding us tight in the places we belong to

not letting us be guided by our hearts

only by our minds

i've been wandering through the night

wearing my peekaboo nightgown

trying not to fall into a situation 

in which i cannot see through the veil

i've been wandering through the night

it's been nights, it's been nights

it's almost automatic

like it's not me wandering -

the body's on the bed,

the soul...

wanders
