lyrics

the time has come for walking upstairs in pain
and looking through rocking chair eyes
fixed on a screen that shows comfortable scenes
familiar, deposed, and antique
the time grows, the garden slows
the crawlspace is too small
feelings that once burned within
don’t register at all

what did you miss in this somnambulistic trance?
what did you miss - life becomes a backwards glance

now is the time for cliches and smalltalk
no new things are found christmas day
a kinetic mind in this seamless time
lies frigid, choked, and austere
the gates close, the garden slows
the house has empty halls
feelings that once burned within don’t register at all

what did you miss leaning on a tyrant past?
what did you miss behind tinted safety glass?
what did you miss holding back and holding in
what did you miss - the phenotype could be anyone’s
