you wait for me to walk the line
to see us close our eyes
too many lives are left behind
tar brings closure nigh

new son, pace your reckless run
speed up, the race will soon be won

drain your life down, hourglass inverted
turn to war, to peace, eternal cannon shot
put your mind, confined, present moment prison
free the past, dispatch nostalgic memory

face on the wall
break downward fall
time soon will crawl
death's windward call

bow to the void, divine, feel the pain of defeat
rise, again, afloat, eddies of potency
burn the source to ash, fusion of space and time
out of your mind, absorb temporal education

you wait for me to walk the line
to see us close our eyes
the solar bodies cold and blind
sons will fade in time

and we wonder what's next
six billion stars survive the marne
and we wonder what's next

displacing colors into patterns
oh, how I see
making rainbows of vitalic origami
and I wonder what's next

pulsating cardiac cacophony of our lives
making silence
auditory valium prescribed
and I wonder what's next

drowning in this sea of countless new events
oh, how I choke
let the waters rape the girl within
and I wonder what's next
