Lyrics:
 

Some deserve their gods

More than others

The vision’s path

Over plain horizon

Distant fires

No one could tell the start

Nor the ending of

A congregation…

Engulfed

Burnt black horses charging

Empty handed

Desert hearts

——

The encroaching feeling of being alive

Inwards…

… unbearable weight

The truth untold

Feeling miserable,

Displaced

No matter what…

The undeserved attentions

The love
The praise
The time you spent by my side
The selfless nature

I’m sorry

——

I’m sorry

You matter
More Than anything
More than you could ever think

——

The broken circle

Nothing but a fall

The sleepless nights
Warmth after coitus
The silent winters and
The children’s wailing
Fine lights shine throughout the darkness
Tender
Soft-spoken and unobtrusive
Invisible

One by one goodbyes

One by one…

Goodbye

Palm and fingernails
Sweet sweat of mine
The toil and so many other things
I kiss you
In your sleep
Tracing a trajectory I know nothing about
But insist on calling yours

I’m sorry

I’m so sorry

I should’ve said I loved you more

I should’ve listened

Asked more questions

Learned a trade and learned to love you

To teach you back the lessons learnt
You taught me every moment

Every moment…
I should’ve been there

But I was gone

Somewhere lost dog the stupid mess
Holding on
Just before the precipice
Where all things cancel
Where all things late
Cease to mean at all

Shrouded plastics
Wear a tumid gown

A tearful deception
Will I learn to love if I cried?
Will I learn to love if I really cried?

Possible outcomes

Imposters

Feeling betrayed
And yet…
Content

People lie and do their best
Some… more than others…

There’s nothing one can do about it…

The way…

The vision’s Path

Walk towards

Diverge

Possible outcomes

You have to go

— —

An hidden trail

Clueless

Some random strip mall with no customers in sight

Decrepit carts

A dumpster fire

(Dead)

Faceless shadows lurking

Ran out in the distance as a timid gush of wind pushes forward

Into the belly of the mist

Afraid

Of losing relevance

Afraid

Of human hunger

Afraid of their own kin

— —

Young boy, dear

The road is long and dangerous

I can only teach you something that you won’t remember…

No matter where you go
It’s all but an illusion

No matter what you see
It’s all but self reflection

Lose yourself

And don’t look back
Until you find you

— —

Far away

Dear…

Far away from here

One by one…

Good-bye

One by one…

Good-bye
