“Goodbye” is so much closer than “Hello”
The lines we know caught in undertow

Looking out but never in
Thought I could not lose
But never tried to win

Preoccupied, cells solidify
And time slips by across a great divide
If the mirror never lies
Suddenly, I think I might be terrified!

I am the center of everything, I am the invincible man
I’m the core!
Cancers in the realm of impossible, this is the impossible scan
Furthermore…

I cannot die before my father, daughter
Treacherous mutation taking over
Center, how can this be real?

Stuck here in awaiting and wondering
Watching as my world topples down
Domino!
Synapse and security snapping
My surety collapsing to ground
Now, what do I know?
There is no pretense nor deceit, no faking at the gates of hell
Just raw existence
Exposed and unconcealed

Cast out and wandering, cast out and wandering
Surfing the hourglass
Unbound

Self-serving royalty, suspicious loyalty
King who would be clinging to a plastic crown

Forty days in the enigma spins me ‘round
In the land of The Uncertain, I am found

I am a grain of sand, just a grain of sand
All of my arrogance crumbling down

Beauty and frailty, beauty and frailty
Wonders I could not see surround

Forty days in the enigma brings me ‘round
In the land of The Uncertain, I am found

Forty days in the enigma brought me ‘round
In this land of The Uncertain, I am found
From a state of hypnotized
I’m awakened, I begin arising
Unexpected, I received the gift of death
Broken open, now I’m free and amplified

The fall and rise
That writes our course of life
Toward open mind
The blessing in demise

Frailty and beauty, I have known
In the land of The Uncertain
I am home

Frailty and beauty, I have known
In this land of The Uncertain
I am home
