Back To Simplicity

For the rush I’ve written
For a rush that saves my place
All the pain that builds me
I have got to up this pace

In the all-consuming
In a hate that builds my path
I will escape the void
I will let me out at last

In my desolation
With a will that makes me live
I can see the nothing
I can see the death I give

But as I disconnect
As I see what I’ve become
I will break the interest
I will bring about the sun

Simple declaration
Simple deeds I can confuse
I’ll never go back in
For the peace I will refuse

Simple observation
With my centred self-control
With universal wisdom
I will finally feel the whole
