Eve of Chaos

[kyrasantae]

I walk into a picture
Of a temporary end
I find a place to love
And write it into my dreams

But progress is definite
It won't stop to wait for me
All I have with me now
Is one heart out of many

I can't look ahead
And I can't look behind
Old and new colliding
In one space of the mind
Until I face the beginning
I'll be here

Riders of the end of ends
Chasing moments through the sky
Let unknown stay unknown
The dawn always comes too soon

I can't look ahead
And I can't look behind
Old and new colliding
In one space of the mind
Until I face the beginning
I'll be here

[simultaneous spoken voices...different people...you know the drill]

"Have you heard it? ......... it's, like, amazing!"
"........ No, I think there's something I don't..."
"..Their best work in years! ...-- worried that --"
"....It's been so long we've waited for this......"
"disappointed!  Disappointed in their choice of --"

I can only watch
As past and future
Crumble into dust
I'm trapped here and now
Nothing's new anymore
Where do I fit in?

I can't look ahead
And I can't look behind
Old and new colliding
In one space of the mind
Until I face the beginning
I'll be here

[I imagine a long instrumental section here]

And hours will drain away
As life goes on around me
Until I face the beginning
I'll be here, frozen in time
