In the Event That Nothing Matters

In the event of persuasion, Id follow the horizon for hours

Just to avoid the conversation, Looming overhead, it towers

Over the time subscribed, To the irrelevance that I offer

If this comes out a bit contrived, Would it really even matter?

What im looking for ive found

But only in passing in the background

Twisting and turning through the shadows

Consistently lurking behind wherever I go

Having had guessed my fate, im not sure if anything even matters

To believe in it too late, could be a reason for bones to shatter

If my heart still had the patience, id speak deeply of alien rivers

Instead we simply stand in silence, just poisoning each others livers

What im looking for ive found

But only in passing in the background

Twisting and turning through the shadows

Consistently lurking behind wherever I go

When the time comes to say goodbye, I hope to forget just how to hear

Because there's nothing I wouldn't try, to fix our wounds in time to heal

But everything drifts and fades, I don't see why we'd be the exception

As our skin withers and our hair greys, will we have finally learned our lesson?

What im looking for ive found

But only in passing in the background

Twisting and turning through the shadows

Consistently lurking behind wherever I go
