Pernicious world perception Cognition of symbols oblivious Fragments reassembled To a picture beyond this world The curse of carination Slow detachment The cord of apprehension Textures ever shifting Affliction, obsession of silence Reflection dolorous Her meaning of meaning Estrangement from being A new found logic Abides a realm beyond Constrained oblivion A world without mirrors Her meaning of meaning Abducted from seeing The hours sink to the ground And she is counting the bricks I still remember Cold January morning The world beneath a sheet of snow You would not stop screaming And thus you rejoice This river you just could not transcend Drawn towards the water Pulled beneath the waves Whispering from the depth A beckoning from the edge of the world And our songs Forever shrouded in mist Yet just for a blink I felt your presence here The hours sink to the ground And the hours sink to the ground
