Floating slabs of ordinariness
Bridled incivility
The center ring holds no hope
Watch these moments and wonder
Will the next one come?
Like a stone in this river
With nothing to deliver
The flow goes ever on around
Can you hear me?
Are you receiving me?
Can you hear me?
Are you receiving me at all?
In the cold light of day
Still in the dark
What we do, we do alone
What we remember
Won't take us back, ever
To where we came from
Listen with a clear mind
It's possible to find
What you already know
The structure holds, but barely
Cracking at the seams
Facades are only that
There is no endless moment
There is only now
The thought invents itself
Everything that's said
is everything that's heard
is everything that's thought
is everything that's meant
is every single word
is every single sound
is every single light
is every single tone
