Cautery
I saw the wreck today
Wasn't eager to return
My journey feels like it
Lags behind me
I never heard lightning strike
I never saw fire catch
Even hindsight's not 2020
Their spirits blacken my lungs
My trial of disease
Trails this destruction
Attempts to appease
Judgment comes to release
And rebuild my construction
Boxes pile up with no end
A tower that reaches up for a mile
On memories I depend
But they all begin to blend
Trying to focus
Can't access my file
I follow the smouldering road
The heat keeps my feet in motion
And my mind is firing at this enigma
How can I lay this crime to rest?
How can I see my perspective
When my mind's eye is blind?
Arriving at the edge of this world
And the heat dissipates
This is as far as he could flee
He's frightened and concerned
Now I'll capture this conundrum
Finally the lens can focus
He's looking back at me
His eyes seem so familiar
My trial of disease
Trails this destruction
Attempts to appease
Judgment comes to release
And rebuild my construction
Boxes pile up with no end
A tower that reaches up for a mile
On memories I depend
But they all begin to blend
My world begins to mend
Erase
Arise
This is my reprise
Wasn't eager to return
My journey feels like it
Lags behind me
I never heard lightning strike
I never saw fire catch
Even hindsight's not 2020
Their spirits blacken my lungs
My trial of disease
Trails this destruction
Attempts to appease
Judgment comes to release
And rebuild my construction
Boxes pile up with no end
A tower that reaches up for a mile
On memories I depend
But they all begin to blend
Trying to focus
Can't access my file
I follow the smouldering road
The heat keeps my feet in motion
And my mind is firing at this enigma
How can I lay this crime to rest?
How can I see my perspective
When my mind's eye is blind?
Arriving at the edge of this world
And the heat dissipates
This is as far as he could flee
He's frightened and concerned
Now I'll capture this conundrum
Finally the lens can focus
He's looking back at me
His eyes seem so familiar
My trial of disease
Trails this destruction
Attempts to appease
Judgment comes to release
And rebuild my construction
Boxes pile up with no end
A tower that reaches up for a mile
On memories I depend
But they all begin to blend
My world begins to mend
Erase
Arise
This is my reprise
