Pedestal

I'll place on a grand pedestal
A tape with worn-out reels
Hide the affective sentiment
Behind a massive rocky fjord's heels

Reciprocal but out of time
The prelude won't fit on the page
And with my nirvana's rise
The heart spreads like an archipelago, unphased

Life flows smoothly, stable and clear
Year by year, the seasons spin
I haven't felt regret or fear
That at home, she's waiting for him

The foundation's too fragile, weak
To build a love meant to last
And no gesture, no move, no speech
Can mend what's already cast

Our feelings are not practical things—
They're just the basis of theory
Silent eyes say everything
In this irony's dreary scenery

Be with her, kiss her tight
In your plans, grand and bright
Your life flows on so neatly
Joy and happiness, endless, completely

Yet an unpredictable ocean, deep
Will sink those mirages, stir up a storm
Washing away the light titanium streaks
Reshaping the very core, the form

Inertia's broken from the start
By all laws of spiritual decency
Love is just a concept, torn apart
Mixed with practical tendencies

Awakening from a coma's ghostly ache
I'll let you fade like a nightmare's trace
Change my passwords, every place I stake
And erase this story with no track to chase
