Space Between Thoughts - Artifex Pereo
We're lonelier tonight like
We've never been held against a common light
Silently basking in the glow
Suspension asks our mind to remember a frail flame
Against the dark flickers softly though its brilliance is perceived
We fortify walls against lives not our own
A stranger a neighbor a thief in the night
Blind arrogance steps on the bleeding heart caught in our throat
Fed torrential lies bathed in blindness
We share this disillusioned time gathering fuel for our fires
Obsessed with all that's mine souls were bartered and spent
Gravely cast aside left to the vultures circling in a barren sky
Splash of stone sends ripples to upset the surface
Stand up we're all struggling
Wondering when we'll be one again
Nothing here is separate
Scratch at the surface its infinite
Guided far from safety left abandoned and alone
Without a hand to help steady our feet or humble legs to take us home
Like a blight that contains rampant insolence sabotage
the self who's ego had been fed
Face the stare that dwells within sight
Not your own that reflection yearns to return to the whole
What was whole
We've been fools
Stand up we're all struggling
Wondering when we'll be one again
Nothing here is separate
Scratch at the surface its infinite
Sharpening blades to the tune of blessing the skin
That was wounded
Viewing our quarrels at great distance
Casting such reckless abandon erodes the ground
Where we're standing
Wondering when we'll be one again
The hour is late yet to save any grace
Left recall back a time we were one
