    The Spiral - Down


    The red cloth falls and the words begin to levitate
    The end of the illusion leaves behind a severed string
    Descending with the air of a aborted obstacle

    So I seek the task which I fear will haunt me most
    Caught in a web and struggling to escape discredited
    I see that you’re ascending into the past, a ghost

    Though here the lyric of my unconditional sentiment idles
    I see the strain of a undesirable path at hand
    To take a breath and to try to not hold it in

    It hurts more than a conscious lobotomy
    To deviate the flower that I had held so close to me
    And while it flourishes I am withering
    The only way to preserve the memory
    Is to destroy the only that thing had meant everything
    But not before sending grace
    Could my apathy begin to resonate

    (As the petals fall underneath my feet
    I hear them all crumbling
    And am left wondering
    Can anyone see the stiff remains drifting towards -
    The nucleus of a burnt out star?
    And as for our hearts that we had to tear apart
    I remove the pages from their seems
    The destiny that I had not foreseen
    One’s thawed and one’s frozen
    One has healed and one has broken

    Let me see you smile you wild animal
    As you start to float into the bluest sky
    Wear your dress and run with it fluttering
    But just don’t look behind)

    Because now the red cloth falls and a voice begins to deteriorate
    The end of the illusion leaves behind a severed string
    Descending with the air of a aborted obstacle

    As I struggle to forget, I recall the eight letter lie
    That had set up the flame to ignite this weird divide
    And had changed my life

    Though there the lyric of my unconditional philia idles
    I see the strain of a undesirable end at hand
    To take a breath and to try to not hold it in
