Oblivion

First the faces get blurry

Then the story gets full of holes

The inner speech is slurry

And you lose yourself between poles

The rot hits where it should have hurt

But now you're feeling late

With a mindful of fancy dirt

In a fragmented state

 

Losing another word

Leaking another name

Throwing bonds overboard

But nobody's to blame

Families of strangers

With voices from back home

Never knew the dangers

Of life under this dome

 

Some might say that a seahorse

Went off to the races

Presumably trailed far off course

The map's missing places

Get lost just like another day

Reality's a work of fiction

Sometimes molded with tainted clay

By a vision for infliction

 

Each of the sides of the schism

Serves as mirror to the abyss

Witnessing through a crooked prism

Transcendental is hit or miss

Where to begin when it's the end ?

Win when there's nothing left to lose

You know the night doesn't pretend

Everything is confuse
