Apostasy in latency, no enemies no legacy. Oh God, I fear this could be the last time we see ourselves in this light, and I need to know what makes you whole. There’s no looking backward while we feed each other’s guilt. The questions stop with motion, a life spent retreating. Further through the desert seek the heretic abroad, dare to drink the river, the same mistakes don’t bear repeating. It’s all I want, and all that I need. Will I regret it all and replace the blame? When you’re all I want, and all that I need, will you resent it all and cast me out again? Cast away I’m out of place, far from home, nowhere known. All hail logic, echo nostalgic contact. Caught in a rhyme, blinded by time, just keep breathing just keep feeling lost until you find your way back home. They’ll say we’ve come so far, just to turn it into something they won’t understand, until they reach out when they’ve suffered enough. Have you suffered enough? Is it time to move on? Because I need this, like you need this too. We will break, we will falter, we will mend blood in water. We will choose not to speak if our words are conceit. We will think. We will seek. We are one.
