Can I envision view is blurred
as I look with my eyes
I'm unsure and the clouds release me
Visibility is beneath me I stand in the fog

In a temple Floria I see,
Clothed in radiant white from head to feet,
Soft pale hands and Bible on one knee;
Her smile beams on each who take a seat.
Within the room is finest polished wood;
All is clean, and walls reflect the light
Of purity, which sought, is understood,
For here abide the honest and contrite.
Peace resides to blot the worldly strife
Left outside, and solace eases pain.
Many here reflect upon their life,
For godliness and solemness do reign.
In the temple I envision her
Once the Spirit does her heart bestir.

20-20 vision is not strong enough to foresee
The inevitable fate that will soon end my realty
But one thing I do know for certain i will soon close the curtain
20 years of tormented voice preventing me to make any choice
20 years will soon come to end i kllnow it hurts to say good bye friend
I thank you for the memory of torturing words, If i give myself a choice i pick water over shells
The water feels better then the shells to walk on the feeling it gotten worse for far too long
20 months shorted to just a few it will end in 0 to 2 put the numbers backwards and and a pair
So you shall know know when I'll no longer be there
Roughly 13 more to go and very soon i rest my soul
Judge me not, it makes me not weak, the pain just builds for fear to speak
Think of me from 0 to 2 my very final happy memory will be just of you
