Withdrawal - Barren Earth

And so they move

With narrow purpose

A metropolis

Brought to the boil

Rush through the rain

Head down in trenches

Departure, return

And the sum of all is none

A new morning is given me

And I’m not ready

Again the countless paths

I choose them all once more

How long 'till dawn

How long 'till evening

The days hang heavy on each hour

They seem so far gone

In a complex of cages

And the dreaded breakout looms

A new morning is given me

And politely received

Still the countless truths remain

Hidden

Downbound from honest misery

Who could settle for tears alone

No fire

No frost

No flesh to distract

From a light so mindless

How close we kept empathy

Did it serve our intentions well?

No mind

No soul

No will to abstract

From a light so mindless

Downbound from honest misery

Who could settle for tears alone

No fire

No frost

No flesh to distract

From a light so mindless

How close we kept empathy

Did it serve our intentions well?

No mind

No soul

No will to abstract

From a light so mindless

From a light so mindless
