Eventide Periphery
The bitter reminder of all that is gone
A rapid reflection, a suffering heart
Somewhere but not here, anywhere
State of denial continue leading me wrong
From time to time I catch a glimpse
There is never more than just a glimpse
Existing here beside me now
Faithfully, dear periphery
For a fraction of time nerves unwind
The precious moments I live to find
Distracting, disrupting, disturbing me
The second I feel it, it's killing me
From time to time I catch a glimpse
There is never more than just a glimpse
Existing here beside me now
Faithfully, dear periphery
Timing, lightning ‒ always too late
Fractions flashing for me
Stretching, reaching ‒ never enough
Distance, approach me now
I can see it there
I see, it's there
I believe it is here
Just out of sight
From time to time I catch a glimpse
There is never more than just a glimpse
Existing here beside me now
Faithfully, dear periphery
