Finality Lyrics

Bring me to the very edge and pull me back
The view over the abyss, I can see forever
One last high, or one final low
An endmost touch significant

Blackbird eyes in the dawning half-light
Shadows amiss with jesters
The turmoil that mortality invokes
Realization of impermanence

Growing hunger, resilient need
Walls of damaged reason I weave
What lies hidden in the dark
What lies clouded by constraint

Longing for storm's end, the bittersweet comfort
Linear absolutes I cannot escape, challenger of the preordained
What was once unbroken, what was once concealed
What has been foretold, what has been forgotten

Engaged in thought, to make the most
Entangled, until we forget to live
The narrative's confinement, every scenario played out
Wreaking silent havoc, our lingering finality

The ramblings of broken men
Dire tales of displaced innocence
Distant horizons in the seeker's eyes
Intentions aside, lonely days ensue

In the unknowing, the key beyond the veil
Purpose eludes me still
