The Longing (For Detachment)

The Longing (For Detachment) - Imperative Reaction

Useless skies wander by the weight of a hand

Held down by the side which cannot stand

These walls cannot release what holds them back

We will never bleed again

Can you see the day as clearly as I do

Can you feel the pain as I burn alone

Will the world return the life I cannot live

Can you cleanse the stench of a dream gone wrong

Silence surrounds me

Piercing and shrieking

Haunting remains of days constructing veins

Sliding through time like endless roads of lust

Justifying praise

Right now is never enough

Still agreements remain

Regardless of the sense it makes

The placing of time

I see you burning life away

Falling aside the sorrow of a world gone black

Can you sense the core of the longing I am

Can you taste the tears falling down

I can never replace the things I once knew

This dream is a maze compressing my soul

Strangely life crushes the essence of time

The longing for detachment from conflicting signs

Water flowing strangely from the point of creation

And I will never see again

Can you see the day as clearly as I do

Can you feel the pain as I burn alone

Will the world return the life I cannot live

Can you cleanse the stench of a dream gone wrong

Can you sense the core of the longing I am

Can you taste the tears falling down

I can never replace the things I once knew

This dream is a maze compressing my soul

Useless skies wander by the weight of a hand

Held down by the side which cannot stand

These walls cannot release what holds them back

We will never bleed again

Can you see the day as clearly as I do

Can you feel the pain as I burn alone

Will the world return the life I cannot live

Can you cleanse the stench of a dream gone wrong

Silence surrounds me

Piercing and shrieking

Haunting remains of days constructing veins

Sliding through time like endless roads of lust

Justifying praise

Right now is never enough

Still agreements remain

Regardless of the sense it makes

The placing of time

I see you burning life away

Falling aside the sorrow of a world gone black
