Only an Expanse Lyrics

And it came to pass
The all-preceding
Off in distant, misty hills
Wafting over memories
Distracting from your vigil
And on the other side impends a bog obscured by shadow
Just beyond periphery
It churns with preconception
You may fell you sit betwixt
Surrounded by a lifetime
And yet find as such point around
Only an expanse
This is where we all exist
Only an expanse
Fear not this brief eternity
Choose to stay here with each breath
A constant waking from a dream
Shaking off the webs of sleep
Disenchant yourself again
Draw another breath
Time is a useful fiction
Our chosen taskmaster
But broken spells have value
The breath draws you
