Something Lost

Everything upon a tree Settled in the light Just below is darkest seed Working through the night Everything is all I see Never more to know Just until the darkness breathes The cities start to grow In the shade of this disease I forget the earth And what’s to come will confuse me And complicate my worth Everything I wanted back Dying in the night Just above the sun keeps track But I can’t see this light Everything is all I lack Always more to know Enter now into contract The darkness forces soul In the centre of disease I finally see the earth And although it’s memory I’ve come to understand its worth
