The clock above the bed
Is bleeding into morning
The last words my father said
In life to me were drive safe
A better life carefree and safe
How many years has it been
Since I was free of anxiety?
Unstable and sullen
A father’s veneer of certainty
A better life carefree and safe
Well I finally figured out what’s bothering me
Just a lingering doubt we could possibly agree
But I could not miss you any more if I concede
That to see you again is an impossibility
It’s hard to believe in nothing for a change
Now I’m finally giving up trying to make sense of it all
Cause the view from above makes everything seem small
And as we’re descending and the light begins to fade
I can see all around how everything is changed
It’s hard to believe in nothing for a change
Power and sports
Anger and death
The algorithms running
Error reports
Send thoughts and prayers
This constant pain is numbing
Rituals and politics
Means to the end of meaning
There are folded points thru time and space
But I’ll never see you again
