Space Between Thoughts

We're lonelier tonight

Like we've never been held against a common light

Silently basking in the glow

Suspension asks our mind to remember

A frail flame against the dark

Flickers softly though its brilliance is perceived

We fortify walls against lives not our own

A stranger, a neighbor, a thief in the night

Blind arrogance steps on the bleeding heart caught in our throat

Fed torrential lies bathed in blindness

We share this disillusioned time

Gathering fuel for our fires

Obsessed with all that's mine

Souls were bartered and spent gravely cast aside

Left to the vultures circling in a barren sky

Splash of stone, sends ripples to upset the surface

Stand up, we're all struggling

Wondering when we'll be one again

Nothing here is separate

Scratch at the surface, you're infinite

Guided far from safety

(Such arrogance is a waste of breathe)

Left abandoned and alone without a hand to help steady our feet

(Such arrogance is a waste of breathe)

Or humble legs to take us home

Like a blight that contains rampant insolence

Sabotage the self who's ego had been fed

Face the stare that dwells within sight not your own

That reflection yearns to return to the whole

What was whole

We've been fools

Stand up, we're all struggling

Wondering when we'll be one again

Nothing here is separate

Scratch at the surface, you're infinite

Sharpening blades to the tune of blessing

The skin that was wounded

Viewing our quarrels at great distance

Casting such reckless abandon

Erodes the ground where we're standing

Wondering when we'll be one again

The hour is late, yet to save any grace

Left recall back a time we were one
