1.
Black and white, faded photographs Archived in my mind, flickers of vitality A stage where search for blame ends A stage of rest and final peace The battered soul's journey A strife for the end's resolve How did I reach the end of roads unaware? How did I become a ghost premature? How did I reach the end of roads unaware? How did I become a ghost premature? Nothing left but the long road back The slow retreat to where we came from Ash to ash, dust to dust Eroding grain of sand
2.
Words and concepts, one as tied as the other Eleven months of labour with nothing to show but Slow departure of mind and body Grand delusions on the brink of collapse Coexistence, a distressing pastime Weakness uncovered in somnilent days The slow unwinding of our tormented spirits Emergence of truths well behind the veil The mirror fails to hide decay of passing hour The every day construct, slow bane of our pale existence Every flicker from afar, a mirage of a contentment To surrender to the ghosts in the periphery A bittersweet temptation, the residue of dreams In them I seek what cannot be found In them I seek the long lost flair of life
3.
The gloomy Tuesday ambience A void of thoughts profound To see the cracks with sharpened vision The shadow I've become, and the tragedy I lead What am I, but last light of a fading season? Food for the insatiable The fragile caress of the cold spring rain The tattered subway stairs My weary footsteps on the asphalt I could watch this fade, and never look back Discard the shallow comfort of things I own My mind is starved of new impressions Beyond the idle smile, a quenched longing for rebirth I could watch this fade, and never look back Discard the shallow comfort of things I own The fragile caress of the cold spring rain The tattered subway stairs My weary footsteps on the asphalt
