Reductio ad Absurdum - Sun Caged

Playing in a child's game
I never saw a meaning in the name
And all along I was the one doing the seeking
Or so I believed until your arrival
Now realize that I only sought one place to hide myself after another
Light is getting low
And I feel as though you gave up
You gave up looking for me
All plain to see
For anyone outside of this skin
I'm wearing thin
And I'll shed this version of me
A search for the edge
A name for the shape that hides you
From view
Reduction of all but none
Every path has led to one
Illusory conclusion of me in my own way
All plain to see
For anyone outside of this skin that I taught myself to be
And I'll shed this version of me
A search for the edge
A name for the shape that hides you
From view
I'm learning that all I hope to be
Can begin only when I give in
Crawling out from where I hide
When I give in
And the light is getting low
