Lost to the spirit of greener days
Stood in the eye of their storms
Living beneath their shadow
Shadow of disappointment
Baptized in such wicked light
Ears deafened by endless quiet
Finding freedom within
The abject failure
A new year to regress
In a life grown so anonymous
Moments pass through fingers
And outside of reach
Mind and body separate
Obscures everything
Gossamer veil of truth
An unyielding weight
Oh, we can't connect
No, we don't relate
We wax poetic and wane
Time brought no wisdom
Only age
