New System Letra

But rather of the lasting memories

Holding fast, in a past the present never thought

Seams and up and down our path

Metered noises I have walked

Enveloped by dark, entranced by fear

Of soon knowing what isn't or what wasn't

Smells of old, steps I knew here

Despite my prayers and tears

Held back by eyes wide on cheeks white

Reaching blind for the beginning of the end

Near what started as miles

Turned to quivering lips bit by chattering teeth

Forward to the left or to the right have drew me to a door

A door pounding loud with pulse

My trembling digits open wide

My heart beats on a hinge with a subtle creak

Whispers and winds of my presence expected

Sent scurries of restless spirits abounding through myself

And a lifeless blackened room within myself

And the lonely shelf beyond my eyes

And the fated hole, jolting shocks

Vine awaking so vividly unclear

My soul went still in my memory of nothing after

What I thought I found, only to forget

In what was known for an hour of seconds, a lifetime of moments

Is neither of my knowledge, confusion, or being now, nor will it ever be

Till life is death, till death is knowledge, and knowledge is life

Amen
