Ex Luna Scientia - Rolo Tomassi

One mark of absent mindedness

The harshness of loathing skin and bone

Losses are lesser, nurture this burden

And disposal is a waste of it all

An absent influence that brings relief

Keep your secrecy it’s never meant anything to me

Unfolding insincerity, talent lies in deceit

The craft of cheating

Make believe misfortune to keep yourself down

Undaunted when the real disaster hits

Disconnect, keeping distance

At the last moment come to lose what you’ve found

The faintest spark attempting to impart

Coughed up promises churned out to embrace faith

Not one was ever believed

There’s no quality like arrogance

There’s no defense when falling flat is risking fortune

These things are sent to test us

The practice of misleading

Every measure unforeseen

The strains of undue weight

First error lies elsewhere

Retreat, march on!

Repairing the damage that has been done

Crushed, move on!

Finding comfort in these lessons
