Who are you? Who are you?
Who are you? Who are you?
AP: You’re a reflection in the water left behind
When I am gone you disappear, just an image in my mind
EJ: Who are you? You'r the shadow on the wall of a cave
tangible as rising smoke. With the fire, you will fade
AP+EJ: Who is really real, really?
Is my voice just reverberations of your clanging of the bell?
A character in a story that someone else will tell?
Who is really real? Who is really real, really?
AP: Now they start to ask the question: maybe they are not real
EJ: maybe I am not the one who is the teller of the tale
EJ: Hey! You didn’t make me feel that, now I see him doubt himself
AP: maybe I am not the one who is the teller of this tale
We each wonder how to tell if we are real or dream
I am real, or am I real? And just what does this mean?
AP+EJ:Who is really real, really?
Am I the glowing moon above? or the rays thrown by the sun?
Who is really real? Who is really real, really?
EJ: The music starts to fade, is my world slipping away?
This existential crisis has me questioning everything.
What proof could I possibly bring? That my life isn’t also a dream?
Capable of ending at the beep of someone else’s alarm
The clock gets reset, my world comes to an end
I can’t wrap myself around this, how are you staying so calm?
I’m lost in this cold grey city and so is my dog
i’ve never been so sad and lonely and there’s no-one else around me
who can even understand what I try to express
I can’t seem to connect but I refuse to accept
That I am someone else’s echo in this world that I didn’t expect
On this perfectly ordinary day
I woke up this morning on a perfectly ordinary day.

This is a great adaptation of Arthuriana and a brilliant narrative album. I love how the queerness of the characters is handled as an integral part of the narrative and plot development without it being the end all be all of the characters themselves. my boy Gawain deserved better though maritarvaniti
