Recalling Existence
Reason regrets residual rights
After all things are undone
Stuck in a hole of ancient plight
Even beneath the sleepless sun
What is a war when we have won
Just to recall displaced dead truths?
What is the cost when chaos comes
When such empty loss is all it proves?
Killing what comes while children cry
Commanding the shadows of our lie
Dividing the vision that we’re one
The fragments misplaced; the mirror’s gone
Reason recalls revealing rays
The light was there beyond the night
All that we need is within the day
The truth in our cycle granting sight
Endless examining of the end
The powerful spiral of all pain
Victims of self this chaos rends
Collecting the fragments that remain
Nothing is dead while I still breathe
Breathing alone I’m on my knees
Before the love in all I see
Behind the pain that will deceive
Nothing is lost, I’m not alone
Everything gone has come and shown
That every regret has now atoned
For the universe is and I have grown
