palisade of mystery & ruin
- - fade in - -
- - distortion - -
You’ll learn how it all is.
- - transmission one - -
I have become myself undone,
Running from one light to another.
And I am beginning to see,
Decisions are not made, they are a given response.
If I choose to fail, my steps not taken,
I have only chosen to take the given response.
- - end transmission - -
- - fade out - -
- static -
Why should i begin where you left off?
- - fade in - -
- transmission two -
I felt nothing, there was only action,
No sound, no thought,
The clock strikes twelve, midnight,
There is no pain, only remorse,
I felt nothing, there was only action.
- - end transmission - -
- - fade out - -
- static-
I’ve not the weight to carry on in your place.
- - fade in - -
- transmission three -
I walk the empty streets alone,
There people have ears but cannot listen,
Have hearts, but cannot feel,
These are the streets beyond chance,
Beyond fair, open hands, charity bleeding,
Man, I say, is a useless passion.
