Le Temps Detruit Tout
As water is to breath As light dies As motion is to stone As thought ends Silently confess it's meaningless

Whence does this redemption come? Worthy am I? No, not of her Can you teach me how not to feel pain? (or die with a smile?) Can a moth be drawn too far from the flame? Like an apparition, I see her silhouette Do not flee, child Be not afraid Forever midnight in eyes bereft of tears The emptiness abounds Suffocating still on questions within (answer with a lie) Can you imagine where I have been? Make a promise you can't keep Dream of that world, inside Say not a word Go to sleep No one will know you lied Thе cowardice now abides And nothing comes of this Blood drips down on that lеtter And behold

Peer in illusion vainly broken I try to satiate, but all else now seems to immolate I wanted something new with you But now the world has split in two Posit the memories Nothing is forever Simplification Fill in the gaps I watch reflections of past life Met with regret and noble strife And now it's spilling over As Atlas shrugs his callused shoulder And colors the sky grey Nothing is forever Silence may be my only confidant Words unspoken clear the way Nothing now to confess Impasse - are we not? Nescience, perhaps I imposed Humility's love scorned I'm standing in the falling rain And in the absence of pain Yet then I wake my eyes to see The tears I've shed The tears I've cried Simplify and remove Nothing is forever

I can try to reassure you Remind you that I'm not your Enemy Decaying persistence and knowledge annulled Rotting away, mistrusting Alone Hide from the sun Fight the war without light Still you won't believe me? I can see that blade in your hand I must be your Enemy Decaying persistence and knowledge annulled Rotting away, mistrusting Alone Hide from the sun Fight the war without light Enemy Pretended existence and knowledge divulged Eating away Disgusting repose Lie for your son Make a war without right

I saw you run away from yourself Acquiesce and play along Another tithe for your imposed Sense of ingratitude Truth is knowing for myself Lie to me Now there comes a time When they're bold repetition wears it away Then they feel so incomplete Need to fill the need I made Truth is slowing What comes next? Lie to me Still running now for your life So convinced of divinity The questions that you swore not to ask Lay beside the eyes you won't believe Truth is going By myself Lie to me

Tears slid down stone clenched cheeks So afraid she was weak "Wait for me there," he said 'fore apathy came Hollow fields in her eyes Snared him frail - paralyzed "Wait for me there," he said But he is a coward - callow Silence Her feeble hands would abdicate the gods that lied Narcissistic in his plight Nothing left but to run and hide He kissed her hand, she composed herself He vanished and she was alonе "Don't wait for me there," shе said "I'm already dead"

I won't waste your time with goodbyes Because I want this to be brief But there's not a single word Nothing to stay I do not deserve to live Another unavoidable consequence It's so lonely inside And I'm bleeding And I'm waiting Waiting to die And time coils around my neck Like a noose that let's me breathe Fading repose No one can stay You do not deserve to live Another unavoidable consequence It's so lonеly inside And you're bleeding And you're waiting Waiting to diе I won't pretend to know what it means Or that anyone is safe Heartless, perhaps But isn't it the truth We do not deserve to live Another unavoidable consequence It's so lonely inside And we're bleeding And we're waiting Waiting to die

It was a secular gesture of radical despair Or was it indescribable happiness? It's so hard to tell Patience Paced steps towards anger forlorn Cold and calculated empathy soldiering forth towards and enemy Bold in the question hampered when he told me be patient now In the wake of accomplishments many, there begs at me that emptiness So what do I do without that guide? My compass showing me where it will end? That quiet solemnity quilted with a gasp Holding back the indignation There really never was a messiah was there?

Don't you see this? Don't you hear this? Don't you feel this? Won't you heal us? A mother cries as her child slowly dies Begging, the sky replies with folded arms He lost it all today Now he's got nowhere else to stay He took his own life away with folded arms She raised her head and screamed Said, " I know it doesn't really mean anything!" It's like some stale dream, with folded arms Take away my sin Indifference Heaven watches with folded arms Don't tell me it will be alright And they'll be fine in the next life Hiding from the daylight with folded arms

Oh, life is bigger It's bigger than you and you are not me The lengths that I will go to the distance in your eyes Oh no, I've said too much, I set it up That's me in the corner, that's me in the spotlight Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you and I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much, I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try Every whisper of every waking hour I'm choosing my confessions Trying to keep an eye on you Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool Oh no, I've said too much, I set it up Consider this, consider this, the hint of the century Consider this the slip that brought me to my knees, failed What if all these fantasies come flailing around? Now I've said too much I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream That was just a dream That's me in the corner, that's me in the spotlight Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you and I don't know if I can do it Oh now, I've said too much, I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream Try, cry, why try? That was just a dream, just a dream Just a dream, dream
