Thousand Yard Stare
Life decays as days go by
Withering as flowers die
Spinning clocks, sands of time
The occupation of my mind
The persistence of this burning wheel
We wait for open sores to heal
Contending with the hyperreal
The gods beckon us to kneel
Intrinsically return to despair
To master the art of the stare
A thousand yards to nowhere
To no applause, no fanfare
Confronted by my true form
The violent unrelenting storm
Naively I underestimate
This dominant white hot hate
Setting off on another road
Braced for another episode
Question hope and moral code
To your dead soul we sing an ode
Awakening with a start
The skies darken with your heart
I never claimed to be smart
Disappointment is my one true art
Sinking to the depths of hell
Another wish thrown in a well
Rain, rain, go away
Come back again another day
Rain, rain, don't go away
Tell me that you're here to stay
Withering as flowers die
Spinning clocks, sands of time
The occupation of my mind
The persistence of this burning wheel
We wait for open sores to heal
Contending with the hyperreal
The gods beckon us to kneel
Intrinsically return to despair
To master the art of the stare
A thousand yards to nowhere
To no applause, no fanfare
Confronted by my true form
The violent unrelenting storm
Naively I underestimate
This dominant white hot hate
Setting off on another road
Braced for another episode
Question hope and moral code
To your dead soul we sing an ode
Awakening with a start
The skies darken with your heart
I never claimed to be smart
Disappointment is my one true art
Sinking to the depths of hell
Another wish thrown in a well
Rain, rain, go away
Come back again another day
Rain, rain, don't go away
Tell me that you're here to stay
