You’re gone

You’re lost in a world of your own design

Alone,

Humanity’s long since been left behind

And would you believe that I once felt your pain?

(Although it’s far behind me now)

It seems so strange to me that in pain you still believe

And I see a light ahead

A template for all my ambitions

Life lays bare before

Meaning disinterred

I’m welcoming my liberation

Moral,

You call me what you will and cast me away

I know

And in the depth of my ignorance I’m not afraid

And would you believe that I once felt your pain?

It seems so strange to me that in pain you still believe

And I see a light ahead

A template for all my ambitions

As a new day dawns

On an empty world

I’m welcoming my liberation

I’m alone in the world

A husk fading petty and destined

And I stay my mind

From futile tries at

Reaching for exoneration

I’m lost in the stars above

Consumed in my reflection

Distracted from my condemnation

They join me in consciousness

I can’t

Remember a time when days flickered

Like their cold light

Care passed like season

And love was free of all reason.

My reason is as trivial as senses pervaded by a final nostalgic scent

I inhale once more

Knowing the dreams I won’t live don’t matter

(Leave It Behind)
