Momentary Actuality

The sound, as if coming from the earth itself

It pierced my mind, awakening

Something primal, indescribable

I stared into the mirror

The image seemed to shift with every glance

This wasn't right, nothing was

I knew there was, anything

Something more, I had to find it

I stare into the sun

The only thing that makes sense anymore

You wouldn't know the pain I faced when I had to go

And leave it all behind

You wouldn't know the agony as I walked away

It's hard to say

The art of cruelty is a construct of rational beings

To partake in life, it's a cold cruel joke

I will drink of this calamity

Drink of this

Never-ending strife, straining at the yoke

Breaking away and I'm running free

As a chrysalis, evolving insects

It doesn't matter to me

Conflict of instinct

Basic, afraid of what's next

I'm sorry you had to find me like this

Let me go

Did I really want this?

You wouldn't know the pain I faced when I had to go

And leave it all behind

You wouldn't know the agony as I walked away

It's hard to say

You wouldn't know the pain I faced when I had to go

And leave it all behind

You wouldn't know the agony as I walked away

It's hard to say

I stared into the mirror, the image seemed to shift

With every glance, this wasn't right

The feeling of permanence

Is slipping and I welcome it

With a warm embrace

I'll wait forever if you'll just come to me
