This is not the Singularity
This is not the CODA
This is not the point of no return
But this is the only point that matters.
Standing there, radiant,
The muse of this creation;
The head of this place.
Casting a light, the fire of sin.
Between a beach, a noose, and a precipice .
Take me within.
Listen for my song,
I can take you home,
Free from the monochrome.
Take your hold on me,
Source of your dreams and
The tears in the seams
are stories to be seen.
A vision and sound.
[so give me leeway to grieve]
A symphony to lose,
A sympathy to lose.
With a word, a rite, a passage.
The speech of fire to hail for her.
To the city, the city of Fate, the skyline of hope
Hanging with gardens, a signal fire stoked.
An Eden of peace in sight of a shore.
I see her.
I see through her.
(A path as dark as a poem’s deathly tone)
In sight of a shore
I see her
I see through her.
'Go home,' she screamed,
I'm not an opus of peace.
Why don't you just fucking leave?
Just give me leeway to grieve.
Why don't you just fucking leave?
An Eden of peace, in sight of the shore,
Yet this is how the melody’s scored.
‘Go home,’ she screamed,
'Or bring me hope to pretend,
You gave me leeway to grieve.'
She’s standing there,
Radiant.
At the walls of Arcadia
My sympathies,
Are stories to be seen.
A vision and sound,
[I'm not an opus of peace]
A symphony to lose.
(so give me leeway to grieve)
A sympathy to lose.
Standing there, radiant,
Muse of this creation;
Head of this place.
