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
