Of An Essence

I never saw this coming from the ground up but what flights are timeless? for what i felt I knew but the clocks were all running In that second of life lessons The detection was cleverly misplaced somewhere you left sometimes Our bad luck was never ending but we realised the seperation would be our revelation but the time was bomb of riddles the hands of fate say hurry up and wait And consider the truth behinf the haunted metaphor of what it means to be "them" Somewhere you left me behind Everybody wants after it and I wanted it for me the floods and fires And all the warnings trying not to drown or choke trying not to burn or choke The watch on my wrist was naked and felt It was going in endless circles breaki9ng free of monotony begging pleading in photoalbulms no two people believe the sam thing one of the twelve houses abandoned somewhere you left me out on a line
