Horizon (feat. Brett Barkhouse)

Staring endless through the looking glass
Blind eyes cast infinite reflection
Ineffective oculus is one dimensional
Singularity persistent
Similarity in fiction
Things are rarely cut and dry
But real life remains so cyclic
I can lose myself in writing
Grown effective at dividing
Concentration into single-serving escapism
No more hope that I can siphon, severed link
End on a hyphen, out of ink
While I despair at my event horizon

Bindings come undone
Pages fade into the wind and fire
All that I've confided burned away

Given, taken, erased from me
Present, future, it's all so bleak
I can't see a reason to redeem me
You say that I don't understand
But I'm not living in your past
All I see in front of me is infinite reflection

Years I waited for my deus ex machina
To awaken my anima
But I only found a blossoming void
Do I sound unanimated
Barren, inert, like I'm jaded
Nihilistic, vindicated
Like I've not a shred of joy

Suddenly I'm overcome
By echoes of the starting gun
Intravenous outcome,
As I bleed my inspiration dry
Blink to change the looking glass
Saw it there, but gone too fast
Why do I keep looking for an unknown agonist

Given, taken, erased from me
Present, future, both looking bleak
I can't see a reason why I'd seek out my redemption
You say that I don't understand
Maybe you're right, but I'll be damned
I can't see beyond this vacant despondent reflection

Given, taken, erased
Present, future, erased
Given, taken, erased
All that I am, erased
