Riven Mirrors

Awake now with eyes open wide While conscious fails to recover Body still paralyzed Doomed to observe, repeat, rewind Slowly stand up and begin to trudge towards the light Multitudes, stumbling As our breath gets shallower Our trembling hands grope for a sign Deep down Into this crevice where we sink and we respawn Rocks like blades to cling unto We only see what we're allowed Until the clouds begin to thin out And we're forced to witness The struggle of one another So then we'll know for sure We are alone and yet we are a crowd Cut from the cloth of the absolute Riven mirrors reflecting an opaque light We were given enough reason To perceive our lack of time The anguish flows and we're falling behind Revealing our uncoincidence With the phantoms of a lifetime Let the current shape the riverbed The trails and trenches of our next life Awake now with eyes open wide On our knees, we'll no longer climb But excavate the depth of this sombre rift Attaining a principle without form A living force that breathes through us Deep down Into this crevice where we sink and we respawn Rocks like blades to cling unto We only see what we're allowed Until the clouds begin to thin out And we're forced to witness the struggle of one another So then we'll know for sure We are alone and yet we are a crowd
