(Relieve us, reshape us, relieve it all Reveal us, forsake us, reveal it all) Where were you when the noises began? No sign anywhere but the Bleak, the cold, and the barren Tether to me We fall unraveled in this Blank eternal waste Echoes of the final sound Scatter through the haze Enduring a forever Perpetual sorrow Clutching a beacon of hope As you drift through a breathless plane Where were you when they closed their hands? No sign anywhere but the Bleak, the cold, and the barren Where were you, lost in another life? Can you remember the Warmth of the surface light? Shuddering to recall a time When I saw the ground beneath my feet With my very eyes Reflections distort up above Growing ever distant Removed from all control We do nothing to change it Do not let go From this extant coil Do not look away For adoration that will never arrive All that can be seen: a boundless chasm Where were you, absent within? No sign anywhere but the Bleak, the cold, and the barren Where were you, in a sea of the deprived? Can you remember the Warmth of the surface light? Where were you when we needed to breathe? How long has it been? Has a lifetime come already?
